TickLengths

is an option for AxisObject that specifies the lengths of the tick marks.

  • TickLengths{spec1,…,specn} uses the specification speci for the i^(th) collection of ticks.
  • Possible settings for speci are:
  • Automaticautomatic lengths
    sscaled length s
  • By default, the first collection of ticks is drawn longer than subsequent collections.
