R [ggplot2] How to set ticks size?

Question

I'm trying to set ticks size, but when I specify axis.ticks parameter, ticks become horizontal on both axes. For example

data <- data.frame(x =c(1:10), y = c(1:10) )
ggplot(data, aes(x, y)) + 
  geom_point() +
  theme(axis.ticks = element_line(size = 5))

And angle parameter doesn't work.

ggplot2 version 2.2.0.9000

Any help would be appreciated.

You may do:

ggplot(data, aes(x,y)) + 
    geom_point() + 
    theme(axis.ticks.length=unit(.25, "cm"))
