! 2:
! 3: The \textbf{xtics} and \textbf{ytics} tags can be inserted by selecting
! 4: the \textbf{Plot tics} item from the insert selection list of the
! 5: \textbf{gnuplot} tag.
! 6:
! 7: The \textbf{xtics} and \textbf{ytics} tags have identical structure and the
! 8: description presented here applies to both.
! 9:
! 10: The tics tags allow specification of the following parameters:
! 11:
! 12: \begin{itemize}
! 13:
! 14: \item \texttt{Location of major tic marks}
! 15:
! 16: Tic marks can be placed on the border or on the axes. The images below
! 17: illustrate the effects of each of these options.

! 21:
! 22: \item \texttt{Mirror tics on opposite axis?}
! 23: ``Yes'' or ``No''.
! 24: If the \textbf{location of tic marks} is set to ``border'' this parameter
! 25: determines if they are shown on both the top and bottom or right and left
! 26: sides of the graph. The ``mirror'' tic marks are unlabelled.

! 30:
! 31: \item \texttt{Start major tics at}
! 32:
! 33: The point in graph coordinates which to start making major tics.
! 34: This may be less than or greater than the lower limit for the axis.
! 35:
! 36: \item \texttt{Place a major tic every}
! 37:
! 38: The span, in graph coordinates, between each major tic mark.
! 39:
! 40: \item \texttt{Stop major tics at}
! 41:
! 42: This may be less than or greater than the upper limit for the axis.
! 43:
! 44: \item \texttt{Number of minor tics between major tic marks}
! 45:
! 46: The number of subdivisions to make of the span between major tic marks.
! 47: Using a value of ``10'' leads to 9 minor tic marks. The example below
! 48: uses a value of ``5'' to produce 4 tic marks.
