DefaultTicksStyle
is a low-level option for graphics functions that specifies the default style to use in rendering ticks.
Details

- DefaultTicksStyle->style specifies that the ticks should effectively be replaced by Style[ticks,style].
- TicksStyle is applied after DefaultTicksStyle.
- The default setting for DefaultTicksStyle is typically different for different constructs.
- For Graphics, the default setting is DefaultTicksStyle->"GraphicsTicks", and in general for an object named obj it is typically "obj Ticks".
- DefaultTicksStyle->{} introduces no default style specifications, thereby effectively allowing all outside style specifications in.
- DefaultTicksStyle->style makes any specifications in style override corresponding outside style specifications.
