============================================
Set default y-axis tick labels on the right
============================================

We can use :rc:`ytick.labelright` (default False) and :rc:`ytick.right`
(default False) and :rc:`ytick.labelleft` (default True) and :rc:`ytick.left`
(default True) to control where on the axes ticks and their labels appear.
These properties can also be set in the ``.matplotlib/matplotlibrc``.
