JavaScript/jQuery Chart - commonAxisSettings.tick

Ticks divide an axis into sections that measure off values on this axis.

The commonAxisSettings.tick object specifies common settings for all major ticks in the chart. To configure only those major ticks that belong to a particular axis, use the following objects.

• argumentAxis.tick
• valueAxis.tick

Axis-specific settings override common settings.

See Also

• argumentAxis.tickInterval - specifies the tick interval of the argument axis.
• valueAxis.tickInterval - specifies the tick interval of the value axis.
• commonAxisSettings.minorTick - customizes the appearance of minor ticks.

This option supports the following colors:

• Hexadecimal colors
• RGB colors
• RGBA colors
• Predefined/cross-browser color names
• Predefined SVG colors

This option accepts a value from 0 to 1, where 0 makes ticks completely transparent, and 1 makes them opaque.

In the reference position, the axis runs through the center of each tick:

Positive values shift ticks toward axis labels; negative values shift ticks in the opposite direction.

The following table illustrates this option:

Shift Value	Horizontal Axis	Vertical Axis
shift: 3
shift: -3
