CartesianAxes provides powerful contol on axes major and minor ticks. But for GeoAxes, it seems that proplot only provides control of  lat and lon grid lines. If I want to show lat and lon ticks for NCL style geographic plots, I can only call the matplotlib method ax.tick_params(). As shown below, the code will become redundant and inconsistent with the proplot style.  If the GeoAxes.format can control the lat and lon ticks,  I think it will be a nice feature.\r\n\r\n### Steps to reproduce\r\n\r\n```python\r\n# your code here\r\n# we should be able to copy-paste this into python and exactly reproduce your bug\r\nimport proplot as pplt\r\nimport cartopy.crs as ccrs\r\nimport matplotlib.ticker as ticker\r\nfrom cartopy.mpl.ticker import LongitudeFormatter, LatitudeFormatter\r\n\r\nfig = pplt.figure(refwidth=5)\r\n\r\naxs = fig.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, proj=\"cyl\", proj_kw={\"lon_0\": 200}, right=\"3em\")\r\n\r\naxs.format(\r\n    suptitle=\"Figure with NCL sytle by matplotlib\",\r\n    suptitlesize=12,\r\n    suptitlepad=10,\r\n    land=True,\r\n    landcolor=\"k\",\r\n    coast=True,\r\n    coastlinewidth=1,\r\n    reso=\"lo\",\r\n    latlim=(-90, 90),\r\n    lonlim=(0, 360),\r\n    grid=False,\r\n)\r\n\r\n\r\naxs.set_xticks(np.arange(0, 381, 60), crs=ccrs.PlateCarree())\r\naxs.set_yticks(np.arange(-90, 91, 30), crs=ccrs.PlateCarree())\r\n\r\n\r\nlon_formatter = LongitudeFormatter(zero_direction_label=False)\r\nlat_formatter = LatitudeFormatter()\r\naxs.xaxis.set_major_formatter(lon_formatter)\r\naxs.yaxis.set_major_formatter(lat_formatter)\r\n\r\naxs.xaxis.set_tick_params(labelsize=10, pad=5)\r\naxs.yaxis.set_tick_params(labelsize=10, pad=5)\r\n\r\naxs.xaxis.set_minor_locator(ticker.IndexLocator(base=30, offset=10))\r\naxs.yaxis.set_minor_locator(ticker.MultipleLocator(15))\r\n\r\naxs.tick_params(\r\n    which=\"major\",\r\n    direction=\"out\",\r\n    length=10,\r\n    width=1.5,\r\n    colors=\"k\",\r\n    top=\"on\",\r\n    bottom=\"on\",\r\n    left=\"on\",\r\n    right=\"on\",\r\n)\r\n\r\naxs.tick_params(\r\n    which=\"minor\",\r\n    direction=\"out\",\r\n    length=5,\r\n    width=0.8,\r\n    top=\"on\",\r\n    bottom=\"on\",\r\n    left=\"on\",\r\n    right=\"on\",\r\n)\r\n\r\naxs.grid(False)\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior**: \r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48641233/201259357-97f530f8-b98e-40cb-9ab7-a93213c5bc81.png)\r\n\r\n\r\n### Proplot version\r\n\r\n\r\nmatplotlib.__version__ = 3.2.2\r\nproplot.version = 0.9.5","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Dearsomeone","@type":"Person","name":"Dearsomeone"},"datePublished":"2022-11-11T04:11:17.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/397/proplot/issues/397"}
