TicksStyle

TicksStyle
is an option for graphics functions which specifies how ticks should be rendered.

MORE INFORMATION

TicksStyle gives styles for both tick marks and tick labels.

TicksStyle can be used in both two- and three-dimensional graphics.

TicksStyle->style specifies that all ticks are to be rendered by default with the specified style.

TicksStyle->{xstyle, ystyle, ...} specifies that ticks on different axes should use styles xstyle, ....

Styles can be specified using graphics directives such as Thick, Red, Dashed as well as Thickness, RGBColor, Dashing and combinations given by Directive. Styles can also contain rules for options such as FontSize and FontFamily.

Style specifications can refer to styles using style names from current stylesheets.

Any outside styles not explicitly overridden by settings in TicksStyle will still be used.

Explicit styles specified in the setting for Ticks can override styles specified in TicksStyle.
