I'm glad you found the problem. gtk_plot_set_ticks sets the axes ticks 
for both axes, while axis_set_ticks only for the axis in the argument. 
GtkPlotAxis is an object with its methods, and if you change a global 
property, the plot takes care of all the corresponding axes involved.

That's correct, they are in percentage of the canvas page size.

You have to use gtk_plot_axis_show_ticks and _show_labels.
the mask can be one or combitations of GTK_PLOT_TICKS_NONE, IN, OUT

Good luck. Saludos,
