TdxChartAxisTicks.Length Property

Specifies length of major tick marks on an axis, in pixels.

#Declaration

Delphi
property Length: Single read; write;

#Property Value

Type Description
Single

The current length (in pixels) of major tick marks at 96 DPI. The property value can be 1 or higher.

#Remarks

Use the Length and MinorLength properties to adjust length of major and minor ticks on an axis, respectively

#Property Value Examples

Value Example[1]
5 (default) VCL Chart Control: Major Tick Marks with the Default Length on X and Y Axes
10 VCL Chart Control: 10 Pixel-Long Major Tick Marks on X and Y Axes

#Property Setter Behavior

The Length property setter changes the property value to 1 if you assign a value below 1 to the Length property.

#Property Values and Scaling

The Length property specifies the base length (in pixels) of major tick marks that corresponds to 96 DPI. The Chart control’s draw routines multiply the Length property value by the current scale factor and round the result to the nearest integer to calculate actual length of major tick marks on the target screen.

The Length property’s default value is 5.
