Make longer subplot tick marks in matplotlib?

Question

I am trying to alter the tick marks along the axes of a python multipanel subplot. I have two panels that share a common x-axis. I have made the border around the plot thicker

Answer 1

Try the following:

#example figure1
ax1.plot(range(2),range(2),linewidth=2)
ax1.minorticks_on()
ax1.tick_params('both', length=20, width=2, which='major')
ax1.tick_params('both', length=10, width=1, which='minor')

You can repeat the same for ax2. Does this work for you?
