tick_params supports a subset of labeling parameters:

• labelcolor
• labelsize
• label{bottom, top, left, right}
• labelrotation

Motivated by wanting to swap outplt.setp and usetick_params, and finding the tick_params list kind of arbitrary, I think if labels can be modified via tick_params than a larger set of label parameters should be supported. This would mean adding:

• labelhorizontalalignment
• labelverticalalignment
• labelfontproperties
• labelrotation_mode done inImplement xtick and ytick rotation modes #28968
• probably some pass through down to the text objects
