    Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the y-axis.

    Call signatures::

        locs, labels = yticks()           # Get locations and labels

        yticks(ticks, [labels], **kwargs)  # Set locations and labels

    Parameters
    ----------
    ticks : array_like
        A list of positions at which ticks should be placed. You can pass an
        empty list to disable yticks.

    labels : array_like, optional
        A list of explicit labels to place at the given *locs*.

    **kwargs
        :class:`.Text` properties can be used to control the appearance of
        the labels.

    Returns
    -------
    locs
        An array of label locations.
    labels
        A list of `.Text` objects.

    Notes
    -----
    Calling this function with no arguments (e.g. ``yticks()``) is the pyplot
    equivalent of calling `~.Axes.get_yticks` and `~.Axes.get_yticklabels` on
    the current axes.
    Calling this function with arguments is the pyplot equivalent of calling
    `~.Axes.set_yticks` and `~.Axes.set_yticklabels` on the current axes.

    Examples
    --------
    Get the current locations and labels:

        >>> locs, labels = yticks()

    Set label locations:

        >>> yticks(np.arange(0, 1, step=0.2))

    Set text labels:

        >>> yticks(np.arange(5), ('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry', 'Sally', 'Sue'))

    Set text labels and properties:

        >>> yticks(np.arange(12), calendar.month_name[1:13], rotation=45)
