Summary

Only a subset of attributes set viaAxes.tick_params() are accessible via public methods and attributes. For example,pad is accessible viaget_pad() on aTick object, but if you want the width you have to access a private member_width. When building on top of Matplotlib, writing a test can sometimes require accessing these attributes to test the code, but ideally, we wouldn't need to access private members. For theuse case that came up, this isn't a big deal as I was able to switch toget_pad() for the test, but I was surprised there was noget_width() method like with other parts of the API.
