I hope to look at the three changesets below in the next few days.

        1. minorticks-restructure-draw_axes.changeset
        2. bug-31800-color.changeset
        3. axes-ticks-positioning.changeset 

My intention is to run Soren's dump_demo script and make sure there are no 
obvious reversions.

I'll respond back to this thread with what I find.

If there are no objections, and there are no reversions, I'll ask Kostas to 
push.
