I'm plotting a series of sub plots within a figure, where most are small sub
plots, but the last one spans the width of the figure. For the final subplot
only, I want to set the xtick pad to 20. Something like:


import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,1)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(2,2,2)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(2,1,3)


plt.setp(ax3.xaxis.get_major_ticks(), pad=20)
plt.show()

But this doesn't have any effect on the final plot.  I've also tried getting
the ticks individually and calling set_pad(20) i.e.:

for tick in ax3.xaxis.get_major_ticks():
    tick.set_pad(20)

But this does't work either. Anyone have an ideas?
