In matplotlib, the ticks are *markers*. All Line2D objects support a line (solid, dashed, etc) and a marker (circle, square, tick). The tick linewidth is controlled by the "markeredgewidth" property. from pylab import figure, show fig = figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.plot(range(10)) for line in ax.get_xticklines() + ax.get_yticklines(): line.set_markeredgewidth(10) show() BTW -- this is covered in the somewhat new artist api tutorial at http://matplotlib.sf.net/pycon/artist_api_tut.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
