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.
