The ticklabels and axislabel of the top and the right axis are set to
not visible.
+For example, if you want to change the color attributes of
+major_ticklabels of the bottom x-axis ::
+ ax.axis["bottom"].major_ticklabels.set_color("b")
+
+Similarly, to make ticklabels invisible ::
+
+ ax.axis["bottom"].major_ticklabels.set_visible(False)
+
+AxisAritst provides a helper method to control the visibility of ticks,
ticklabels, and label. To make ticklabel invisible, ::
+
+ ax.axis["bottom"].toggle(ticklabels=False)
+
+To make all of ticks, ticklabels, and (axis) label invisible ::

+
+
+ax.axis's __getitem__ method can take multiple axis names. For
+example, to turn ticklabels of "top" and "right" axis on, ::
+
+ ax.axis["top","right"].toggle(ticklabels=True))
+
+Note that 'ax.axis["top","right"]' returns a simple proxy object that
translate above code to something like below. ::

-------------------------
+Rotaion and Alignment of TickLabels
+===================================
+This is also quite different from the original mpl and can be
+confusing. When you want to rotate the ticklabels, first consider
+using "set_axis_direction" method. ::
+
+ ax1.axis["left"].major_ticklabels.set_axis_direction("top")
+ ax1.axis["right"].label.set_axis_direction("left")
+
+.. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/simple_axis_direction01.py
+
+The parameter for set_axis_direction is one of ["left", "right",
+"bottom", "top"].
+
+You must understand some underlying concept of directions.
+
+ 1. There is a reference direction which is defined as the direction
+ of the axis line with increasing coordinate. For example, the
+ reference direction of the left x-axis is from bottom to top.
+
+ .. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/axis_direction_demo_step01.py
+
+ The direction, text angle, and alignments of the ticks, ticklabels and
+ axis-label is determined width respect to the reference direction
+
+ 2. *ticklabel_direction* is either the right-hand side (+) of the
+ reference direction or the left-hand side (-).
+
+ .. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/axis_direction_demo_step02.py
+
+ 3. same for the *label_direction*
+
+ .. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/axis_direction_demo_step03.py
+
+ 4. ticks are by default drawn toward the opposite direction of the ticklabels.
+
+ 5. text rotation of ticklabels and label is determined in reference
+ to the *ticklabel_direction* or *label_direction*,
+ respectively. The rotation of ticklabels and tlabel is anchored.
+
+ .. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/axis_direction_demo_step04.py
+
+
+On the other hand, there is a concept of "axis_direction". This is a
+default setting of above properties for each, "bottom", "left", "top",
+and "right" axis.
+
+ ========== =========== ========= ========== ========= ==========
+ ? ? left bottom right top
+ ---------- ----------- --------- ---------- --------- ----------
+ axislabel direction '-' '+' '+' '-'
+ axislabel rotation 180 0 0 180
+ axislabel va center top center bottom
+ axislabel ha right center right center
+ ticklabel direction '-' '+' '+' '-'
+ ticklabels rotation 90 0 -90 180
+ ticklabel ha right center right center
+ ticklabel va center baseline center baseline
+ ========== =========== ========= ========== ========= ==========
+
+
+And, 'set_axis_direction("top")' means to adjust the text rotation
+etc, for settings suitable for "top" axis. The concept of axis
+direction can be more clear with curved axis.
+
.. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/demo_axis_direction.py
+The axis_drection can be adjusted in the AxisArtist level, or in the
+level of its child arists, i.e., ticks, ticklabels, and axis-label. ::
+
+ ax1.axis["left"].set_axis_direction("top")
+
+changes axis_direction of all the associated artist with the "left"
+axis, while ::
+
+ ax1.axis["left"].major_ticklabels.set_axis_direction("top")
+
+changes the axis_direction of only the major_ticklabels. Note that
+set_axis_direction in the AxisArtist level changes the
+ticklabel_direction and label_direction, while chainging the
+axis_direction of ticks, ticklabels, and axis-label does not affect
+them.
+
+
+If you want to make ticks outward and ticklabels inside the axes,
+use invert_ticklabel_direction method. ::
+
+ ax.axis[:].invert_ticklabel_direction()
+
+A related method is "set_tick_out". It makes ticks outward (as a
+matter of fact, it makes ticks toward the opposite direction of the
+default direction). ::
+
+ ax.axis[:].major_ticks.set_tick_out(True)
+
+.. plot:: mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/figures/simple_axis_direction03.py
+
+
+So, in summary,
+
+ * AxisArtist's methods
+ * set_axis_direction : "left", "right", "bottom", or "top"
+ * set_ticklabel_direction : "+" or "-"
+ * set_axislabel_direction : "+" or "-"
+ * invert_ticklabel_direction
+ * Ticks' methods (major_ticks and minor_ticks)
+ * set_tick_out : True or False
+ * set_ticksize : size in points
+ * TickLabels' methods (major_ticklabels and minor_ticklabels)
+ * set_axis_direction : "left", "right", "bottom", or "top"
+ * set_rotation : angle with respect to the renference direction
+ * set_ha and set_va : see below
+ * AxisLabels' methods (label)
+ * set_axis_direction : "left", "right", "bottom", or "top"
+ * set_rotation : angle with respect to the renference direction
+ * set_ha and set_va
+
+
