I just want to say that I made a minor extension to this script. It should appear under my name, it's a very trivial extension: I have Introduced a distinction between offsets for the horizontal axis offset_x and vertical axis offset_y. This is useful if your x-axis and y-axis do not cross at the origin. This extension gives you independent control of the offset for the x-axis labels and y-axis labels. If you're interested it should soon appear under my name. I don't have the reference now as I only just uploaded it. Thanks again to Alexander.
Very nice. I've wanted a way to do this for a long time.
Two improvements would be nice: (1) Add support for doing only Y ticks. (2) Check for an axis label and reposition it correctly so that it does not overlap with the new tick labels.
To be able to use Y-ticks only one should replace 2 strings around #225 with
======================================
%find out if we have to use the LaTex interpreter
all_ticks = [tickx ticky];
temp = all_ticks{1};
======================================
it's also a bit unexpected that
offsety>0 means 'left' ...

However, 2 tiny suggestions:
