MinTick(axis) - Density of minor tick marks

Description:
This attribute controls the appearance of annotated axes by determining the density of minor tick marks which appear between the major axis values. It takes a separate value for each physical axis so that, for instance, the setting "MinTick(2)=2"  specifies the density of minor tick marks along the second axis.

The value supplied should be the number of minor divisions required between each pair of major axis values, this being one more than the number of minor tick marks to be drawn. By default, a value is chosen that depends on the gap between major axis values and the nature of the axis.

Type:

Integer.
Notes:
  • If no axis is specified, (e.g. MinTick instead of MinTick(2)), then both axes are affected.
