==================================

Move x-axis tick labels to the top

==================================

`~.axes.Axes.tick_params` can be used to configure the ticks. *top* and

*labeltop* control the visibility tick lines and labels at the top x-axis.

To move x-axis ticks from bottom to top, we have to activate the top ticks

and deactivate the bottom ticks::

ax.tick_params(top=True, labeltop=True, bottom=False, labelbottom=False)

.. note::

If the change should be made for all future plots and not only the current

Axes, you can adapt the respective config parameters

- :rc:`xtick.top`

- :rc:`xtick.labeltop`

- :rc:`xtick.bottom`

- :rc:`xtick.labelbottom`
