Axis Tickmarks

• May 30, 2022

Tickmarks divide an axis into equal sections. There are two types of tickmarks: major and minor.

The table below lists tickmark customization options.

Property	Description
AxisBase.ShowMajorTickmarks	Specifies whether the major tickmarks are visible.
AxisBase.ShowMinorTickmarks	Specifies whether the minor tickmarks are visible.
AxisBase.TickmarksCrossAxis	Specifies whether tickmarks cross the axis.
AxisBase.TickmarksLength	Specifies the major tickmark length (in pixels).
AxisBase.TickmarksMinorLength	Specifies the minor tickmark length (in pixels).
AxisBase.TickmarksThickness	Specifies the major tickmark thickness (in pixels).
AxisBase.TickmarksMinorThickness	Specifies the minor tickmark thickness (in pixels).

The following example shows major and minor tickmarks for X and Y-axes:
