Remarks
This class encapsulates all the functionality for all chart tick marks.
The TickMark class is exposed as the MajorTickMark and MinorTickMark properties of the Axis objects.
Major tick marks by default are displayed at the major grid lines, while minor tick marks must be explicitly displayed.
Major and minor tick marks by default have their Interval property set to zero (0). An Interval value of zero for major tick marks will result in the control determining an appropriate interval automatically. This does not happen for minor tick marks, which means that the developer must explicitly set the Interval property of the minor tick marks, otherwise they will not be displayed.
Using this class the developer can:
-
Enable or disable tick marks.
-
Set the color, width, length and line style of tick marks.
-
Specify a style that determines if tick marks are displayed outside of the axis, inside of the axis or across the axis.
-
Specify the starting point (where the first tick mark is drawn), as well as the tick mark interval (i.e. frequency).
