NAME

XmScaleSetTicks -- A Scale function that controls tick marks

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Scale.h>
void XmScaleSetTicks(
Widget scale,
int big_every,
Cardinal num_medium,
Cardinal num_small,
Dimension size_big,
Dimension size_medium,
Dimension size_small);

DESCRIPTION

XmScaleSetTicks controls the number, location, and size of the tick
marks on a Scale. Each tick mark is a SeparatorGadget oriented
perpendicular to the Scale's orientation. For example, if the Scale
is oriented horizontally, the tick marks will be oriented vertically.

If you specify tick marks for a Scale and then change the Scale's
orientation, you will have to do the following:

+o Remove all the tick marks. To remove tick marks from a Scale,
you must destroy (with XtDestroyChildren) the SeparatorGadget
tick marks. The first two children of a Scale are its title
and scroll bar, and all additional children are tick marks.

+o Recreate the tick marks by calling XmScaleSetTicks.

scale Specifies the Scale widget ID that is getting the tick
marks.

big_every Specifies the number of scale values between big ticks.

num_medium
Specifies the number of medium ticks between big values.

num_small Specifies the number of small ticks between medium values.

size_big Specifies the size (either width or height) of the big
ticks.

size_medium
Specifies the size (either width or height) of the medium
ticks.

size_small
Specifies the size (either width or height) of the small
ticks.
