Is it possible to set different colors for individual ticks? I have a few differently colored arrows and I'd like to show their coordinates in different colors. Here, the two ticks on the X-axis represent X coordinates of the green and red arrow, can I make them green and red respectively?

Here is the documentation for Ticks:

So, here is a graphic with red and blue ticks, and green and orange tick labels:

Graphics[
    {},
    Axes->True,
    Ticks->{
        {{.2, Style["1",Green], {.02,.02}, Red}, {.8,Style["2",Orange],{.02,.02},Blue}},
        None
    }
]

  • $\begingroup$ Is there a way to move labels to the opposite sides of the axes? E.g. move a label on Y-axis placed to the left of the axis to the right side. Some of my labels are overlapping with each other or the arrows. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I don't think it's possible using the Ticks option without some major hackery. On the other hand, you could just use a Text primitive, e.g. Graphics[{Text["text", Offset[{0, 15}, {.1, 0}]]}, Axes -> True, Ticks -> {{{.1, ""}, {.5, "foo"}}, None}, PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}}] $\endgroup$
