CLASS DESCRIPTIONVkTickMarks presents a vertical set of tick marks. It is most
commonly used next to a vertical XmScale widget. The tick marks can
be right-justified and the labels to the left (the default), or
left-justified and the labels to the right. The former is used when
the component is to the left of the scale, and the latter when the
component is to the right.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONSVkTickMarks()
VkTickMarks(char* name, Widget parent,
Boolean labelsToLeft = True,
Boolean noLabels = False,
Boolean centerLabels = False);
virtual void ~VkTickMarks(void);
VkTickMarks creates a component using the name and parent
parameters. The optional labelsToLeft argument can be used when the
component is placed to the right of an XmScale widget. If you set
labelsToLeft to False, the tick marks will be left-justified and the
labels drawn to the right of the tick marks. If you set noLabels to
True, no labels will be displayed. If you set centerLabels to True,
labels will be centered in the area between the edge of the
component and the tick marks, rather than aligned against the tick
marks.
setScale()
void setScale(int min, int max,
int majorInterval,
int minorInterval);
This function changes the configuration parameters of the component.
Min and max change the minimum and maximum values and labels,
majorInterval and minorInterval change the tick mark spacing. The
initial parameters are set using resources, so applications with

fixed tick marks need not use this method.
setMargin()
void setMargin(int marginTop, int marginBottom);
This function specified the spacing between the top of the component
and the first tick mark, and the bottom of the component and the
last tick mark. The default setting is controlled using resources,
and is suitable for placement next to an XmScale widget. This
default positions the first and last tick mark so that they
horizontally line up with the mark in the scale's thumb.
labelSpacing()
int labelSpacing(void);
This function returns the spacing, in pixels, between the tick marks
and their labels. This can be useful when placing two VkTickMarks
components side-by-side, with only one set of labels. By querying
this function and using the value as an offset, you can center the
labels between the two sets of tick marks.
addLabel()
void addLabel(int value);
This function adds another label for a specific value. By default,
labels are displayed for the minimum and maximum values. Calling
this function will add additional labels to the component.
