Tickmarks display points on an axis scale. In a linear gauge, two types of tickmarks are available depending on what steps of an axis scale they indicate: Major or Minor.
Tickmarks are objects that implement the IMajorTickmark or IMinorTickmark interface.
The table below lists the main properties that affect element behavior and appearance.
