How to set axis in more details?

Dear all,
I want to know if it is possible to set YTickDir = "out" and keep the yticks on the left y axis only. (As far as I know, there no such properties name "YTickDir" for axes.) In my case, I don't know how to remove the ticks of right yaxis.
It cannot be better if I could set XTickDir and YTickDir separately, just like xmgrace. Actually I woud use MATLAB to replace xmgrace to plot as I can use scripts to control my plots, which is very convenient. I hope that the MathWorks Team would hear my voice to provide more properties to control figure. I know there are hidden properties but I don't know where I can find them.
Best regards,
Qilin.
x = linspace(0.0, 12.0, 21);
J0 = besselj(0, x);
figure; plot( x, J0, 'ro-' );
h = gca;
h.TickDir = 'out'

(In xmgrace, I can set the ticks on x or y axis drawn on "Normal side", "Opposite side" or "Both side").

See this answer. You can find a list of the properties here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.graphics.axis.axes-properties.html
x = linspace(0.0, 12.0, 21);
J0 = besselj(0, x);
figure;
plot( x, J0, 'ro-' );
h = gca;
yax = h.YAxis; % xax = get(ax,'XAxis');
set(yax,'TickDirection','out')
box 'off'

Not that I am aware of (see this link). A work around may be to use the xline and yline functions to complete the box.
x = linspace(0.0, 12.0, 21);
J0 = besselj(0, x);
figure;
plot( x, J0, 'ro-' );
h = gca;
yax = h.YAxis; % xax = get(ax,'XAxis');
set(yax,'TickDirection','out')
box 'off'
xline(max(h.XAxis.Limits))
yline(max(h.YAxis.Limits))
