Is it possible to increase the size of the tick marks on a plot made in sage? I would like to be able to insert plots into LaTeX documents using SageTeX's sageplot:
\begin{sagesilent}
f(x) = (x-2)*(x+3)
p = plot( f(x), (x, -4, 4), thickness = 10, fontsize = 42 )
\end{sagesilent}
sageplot[width = 0.33 \textwidth]{p}
Because the plot has been scaled down in TeX, the tick marks are hardly visible. Can I increase their size?
According to this stackoverflow question, you can use rcParams to set the tick size and width.
I've got the method using rcParams to work, using matplotlib.rcParams['xtick.major.size'] = 10 to increase tick length. When I try to increase thickness using matplotlib.rcParams['xtick.major.width'] = 4, sage complains that "xtick.major.width is not a valid rc parameter". In matplotlib.rcParams.keys() in Python clearly lists this as a valid paramter, though . . . ?
