We can use rcParams["xtick.labeltop"] = False
(default False) and rcParams["xtick.top"] = False
(default False) and rcParams["xtick.labelbottom"] = True
(default True) and
rcParams["xtick.bottom"] = True
(default True) to control where on the axes ticks and
their labels appear.
These properties can also be set in .matplotlib/matplotlibrc
.
