 There is a lot of inconsistency between the methods in `Graphics` class.
 Is there any reason to not have the methods be better named? The old
 method names could be still kept around for backward compatibility.
 0. {{{old_method -> new method(s)}}}
 1. {{{aspect_ratio -> get_aspect_ratio}}}
 2. {{{axes* -> get_axes*, set_axes*}}}
 3. {{{fontsize -> get_fontsize, set_fontsize}}}
 4. {{{-> set_minmax_data}}}
 5. `legend -> set_legend, get_legend`
 6. `-> get_legend_options`
 7. `tick_label_color -> set_tick_label_color, get_tick_label_color`
 8. `xmax/xmin/ymax/ymin -> get/set_xmax/xmin/ymax/ymin`

 The following methods are good:
 1. `get/set_aspect_ratio`
 2. `get/set_axes_range`
 3. `set_legend_options`
