Set a different width for a TAxis line and ticks

Do any of you know how to make an axis line and the ticks thicker? I haven’t found anything such as
histo->GetXaxis()->SetLineWidth(x)
so there must be an alternative way.

Thanks

One possible way:

{
   TH1F* h1 = new TH1F("h1","Random 1D Gaussian",100,-4,4);
   h1->FillRandom("gaus",10000);
   h1->Draw(); 
   gPad->Update();
   h1->GetXaxis()->SetLabelOffset(999);  
   h1->GetXaxis()->SetTickLength(0);      
   TGaxis *axis = new TGaxis(gPad->GetUxmin(), gPad->GetUymin(),
                             gPad->GetUxmax(), gPad->GetUymin(),
                             gPad->GetUxmin(), gPad->GetUxmax(),
                             510,"+L");  
   axis->SetLineWidth(4);
   axis->Draw();
}
