Enable axis tick change from function call (not just from changing the field directly)

[AdityaSavara]

Should add ability to put tick marks inside and outside by function call.

Currently, requires modifying the record's fig_dict directly.

More info below about similar plotly syntax.

fig.update_yaxes(linewidth=0.5,
ticks="outside", tickwidth=0.5, tickcolor='black', ticklen=5, dtick=0.5,
tickfont_size=22,
)

There are also some other things like making the tick marks an array.

Hey, I am new to open source, and I would like to take up this issue and work on it. Can you assign it to me @AdityaSavara?

[AdityaSavara]

Yes, absolutely. Will you need guidance on anything? Or do you know how to modify the source code after pip, do the testing, and then finally make a pull request? I have made a branch so that you can make a pull request to that branch.

https://github.com/AdityaSavara/jsongrapher-py/tree/axis-tick-enhancements

On your fork, you should work on this branch.

Please note that this level contribution will have your userID to appear on github after the pull request, but will not result in being added to the package authors list)

To clarify one point: the way JSONGrapher works is it makes a json-structure that is then plotted by plotly. Plotly includes options for axis ticks. So you just need to create a function in JSONGrapher's JSONRecordCreator file called "update_yaxes" or similar, take in the same kinds of arguments plotly takes, and then populate the fields of the self.fig_dict item. You won't be calling any plotly functions, but will simply need to populate the self.fig_dict in a way that is compatible with the plotly json structure. The online chatbots do know the plotly json structure, so you can ask them questions about it.
