[BUG] (x/y) mirror not work framestyle=:box and pyplot()

[jamblejoe]

Details

using Plots; pyplot()
plot(rand(10); mirror=true) # works fine
plot(rand(10); mirror=true, framestyle=:box) # axes not mirrored

All other styles I tested (:semi, :axis) worked fine. xmirror and ymirror don't work either.

I saw in the backend code that apparently this is actively set to not work

if sp[:xaxis][:mirror]
    ax.xaxis."set_label_position"("top")     # the guides
    sp[:framestyle] == :box ? nothing : ax.xaxis."tick_top"()
end

if sp[:yaxis][:mirror]
    ax.yaxis."set_label_position"("right")     # the guides
    sp[:framestyle] == :box ? nothing : ax.yaxis."tick_right"()
end

Perhaps you could play around and come up with a robust solution? I've written that as of an todo item for future. I could not come up with an easy solution for this case.

What is preventing just enabling ax.xaxis."tick_top"() and ax.yaxis."tick_right"() for :box as well? I get

julia> plot(plot([1,2,3]),  plot([1,2,3]; mirror=true, ylabel="abc", border=:box))
