## Query or set the tick values on the y-axis of the current axis.
##
## When called without an argument, return the current tick locations as
## specified in the @qcode{"ytick"} axes property.  These locations can be
## changed by calling @code{yticks} with a vector of tick values.  Note:
## ascending order is not required.
##
## When called with argument @qcode{"mode"}, @code{yticks} returns the current
## value of the axes property @qcode{"ytickmode"}.  This property can be
## changed by calling @code{yticks} with either @qcode{"auto"} (algorithm
## determines tick positions) or @qcode{"manual"} (tick values remain fixed
## regardless of axes resizing or rotation).  Note: Specifying ytick values
## will also set the property @qcode{"ytickmode"} to @qcode{"manual"}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axis rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## Requesting a return value when calling @code{yticks} to set a property value
## will result in an error.
