This sets wrong priorities / pushes users into the direction on working directly on the underlying ticks and their constituent artists. This is discouraged as ticks are ephemal and may change due to zooming resizing etc.\n\n\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\nEither remove these sections altogether or rewrite them as background information how ticks are implemented, include a warning on direct manipulation, and encourage using high-level API `tick_params`, locators and formatters to control ticks.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/timhoffm","@type":"Person","name":"timhoffm"},"datePublished":"2026-05-16T06:14:24.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/31682/matplotlib/issues/31682"}
