FrameTicks

FrameTicks
is an option for 2D graphics functions that specifies tick marks for the edges of a frame.

The following settings can be given for FrameTicks:

	None	no tick marks drawn
	Automatic	tick marks placed automatically
	True	tick marks placed automatically on bottom and left edges
	All	tick marks placed automatically on all edges
	{{left,right},{bottom,top}}	tick mark options specified separately for each edge

When separate tick mark specifications are given for each edge, All specifies that tick mark labels should be included.

Automatic tick marks are usually placed at points whose coordinates have the minimum number of digits in their decimal representation.

For each edge, tick marks can be specified as described in the notes for Ticks.

FrameTicksStyle gives default styles to use for frame tick marks and tick mark labels.

Frame ticks are only shown if the frame itself is drawn, as specified by Frame.
