IIRC (I'm on mobile so cannot verify) there's a difference. kwargs only modify the existing tick instances. `tick_params()` in contrast also change the default for new ticks (ticks are mostly...

There's a conflict of interest: In a world, where ticks can change e.g. because of zooming, you can't have both options to be available: - I want all ticks to...

> I _think_ this would be a matter of adding support for Formatter subclasses Maybeee. This would be a paradigm shift. Currently, formatters do only format the text, i.e. which...

I believe we need a clear understanding and documentation, what `A` can be. Typically in colormapping scenarios, `A` is the array `ScalarMappable._A`, and `set_array()` already runs through `cbook.safe_masked_invalid(A)`. So if...

Yes, what's the difference? If difflib gives reasonable results. I would stick with that as "good enough" before writing/vendoring any additional code.

See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/20317 as a proof of concept. What needs to be done: - [ ] Decide on the exact behavior - [ ] Implement across all backends. Help is welcome.

> * in combination with ctrl, or with shift: zoom only horizontally, or only vertically Are these standard combinations? If not, we should carefully consider which modifiers should which operations.

**Minimal proposal:** Scroll up/down without modifiers = zoom in/out to the cursor, keeping aspect ratio. Direction: Consistent with zooming in maps, and browsers (while they additionally need a modifier, the...

Typo. Both cases interpret scroll-up as magnification
