Navigation:  Programmer's Reference > Executing DPlot commands from another application > TickInterval macro command

Macro commands may be used either in macros or by sending the commands to DPlot via dynamic data exchange (DDE). Some commands are valid only in macros (noted by Macros Only). Commands sent to DPlot via DDE must be enclosed by square brackets [     ]. Macro commands should not include the brackets.

Command parameters shown in the descriptions below are placeholders for the actual values. Command parameters are either numeric values or character strings; character string parameters are always bound by double quotation marks.

All indices into arrays are 1-based, e.g. Curve1=1 refers to the first curve in a plot.

A 0x prefix for numbers in the descriptions below indicates hexadecimal notation; e.g. 0x0010 = 16.

JR/Viewer indicates that the command is supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.
JR/Viewer indicates that the command is NOT supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.

If state is non-zero, specifies the tick mark interval to use on the X, Y, and Z axes (3D plots only). If state=2 and the current document contains a polar plot, then dx is in degrees rather than the default radians. If state=0, DPlot automatically selects a tick mark interval.

All parameters must be separated by commas. dx, dy, and dz are optional. Omitted parameters are represented by 2 successive commas with no intervening spaces. If omitted then the current tick mark interval for the respective axis will be maintained. For example, to set the tick mark interval on the Y axis to 5 and leave the X (and Z for 3D plots) interval alone, use

[TickInterval(1,,5)]

To set only the X tick mark interval, the following commands are equivalent:

[TickInterval(1,5)]
[TickInterval(1,5,)]
[TickInterval(1,5,,)]

Alternatively, see the NumTicks command.
