Details:

appears along with 2016b came a few new ways of getting and setting axis
properties.

xticks
yticks
zticks
rticks
thetaticks
xticklabels
yticklabels
zticklabels
thetaticklabels
rticklabels

it appears from the documentation that each function without argument would
simply act as get(gca,'xticks'), etc., so an alias for nargin=0 should be easy
enough to make as a set of wrappers, at least for x, y and z. polar still
describes the axis with cartesian coordinates, and we don't seem to have
polarplot implemented yet which uses r and theta axes.  using r and thetaticks
on 'polar' gives an error about 'rticks is not supported for Cartesian axes.
use xticks instead', and similar when calling xticks on a plot created
polarplot.

each of the above do take a number of arguments that will either modify the
'get' or will perform a 'set' for the particular element.  documentation
