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​.
