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:
• 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.
• Recreate the tick marks by calling XmScaleSetTicks.
