How to increase the length and width of the major and minor ticks?

[Dakalo12]

Hi,

My Python version is 3.8.0 and APLpy vesrion is 2.0.3.

The following is the attribute error I get when trying to increase the major and minor ticks length and width.

---

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
/tmp/ipykernel_3423/2029495903.py in

---> 27 f.set_tick_size(10)
28
29 f.add_beam()

AttributeError: 'FITSFigure' object has no attribute 'set_tick_size'

Thank you for your help in advance.

I think you should be using t.ticks.set_length (which includes a minor_factor argument to control the minor tick length) as well as f.ticks.set_linewidth - could you let me know if that works?

Hi @astrofrog,

Thank you for the response

I used f.ticks.set_length(10, minor_factor = 5), it is only increasing the length of the major ticks, there is no change on minor ticks.

The f.ticks.set_linewidth is workig.

Hi,
By coincidence, I had the same experience today with python 3.8, aplpy 2.1.0. I could change the linewidth of the ticks and the length of the major ticks, but not the length of the minor ticks.
