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}
1.2 matthew 15: ``Border'' or ``Axis''.
1.1 matthew 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.

1.1 matthew 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.

1.1 matthew 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.
