Major Tick Marks
The node
MajorTick controls the drawing of tick marks on an
AxisXYZ.
The location of the major tick marks can be set explicitly, using the
Axis3D.setTicks(double[]) method. However, it is usually easier to allow autoscaling to automatically set the tick locations (see
Autoscale).
Attribute TickLength
Tick marks can be made relatively longer or shorter by setting the attribute TickLength. Its default value is 1.0. If its value is negative, the tick marks are drawn in the opposite direction.
Attribute Number
Number is the number of major tick marks along an axis.
Attribute Ticks
The
Ticks attribute, in an
Axis3D node, contains the position of the major tick marks. If this attribute is not explicitly set, its value is computed from the attributes
Number,
Window and
Transform.
