Hi, Thanks for reporting this. The axes class in axes_grid toolkits uses different artists to render ticks and ticklabels. And some of the features in the original matplotlib won't work correctly, and the "tick direction" turned out to be one of them.
However, I just committed a fix for this to the svn (r7292), so it should work now. So, please install mpl from the current svn again, and test it. Unfortunately, while the ticks are rotated, the pad for tick labels are not automatically adjusted. Therefore, you may want to adjust it manually. e.g., ax.axis["left"].major_tick_pad = 10 I'll try to improve this in the future. On the other hand, you may take a look at the recently added "spine" support in the main matplotlib. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.html If you use spine, than all the ticks & ticklabels feature in mpl will work.
