MinTickLen - Length of minor tick marks

Description:
This attribute controls the appearance of annotated axes by determining the length of the minor tick marks drawn on the axes.

The MinTickLen  value should be given as a fraction of the minimum dimension of the plotting area. Negative values cause minor tick marks to be placed on the outside of the corresponding grid line or axis (but subject to any clipping imposed by the underlying graphics system), while positive values cause them to be placed on the inside.

The default value is $ +0.007$.


Type:
Floating point.

Notes:
  • The number of minor tick marks drawn is determined by the MinTick(axis) attribute.
