                      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}

                     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.

                     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.
