I'm satisfied with the default placement of tickmarks, what I want to do is to
automatically make them e.g. twice as long. Yea, I could use FullOptions and
get the tickmark list, apply a homebrew function or two in order to double their
length, then rename the list and use it as new tick definition. However, this
doesn't seem much better than what I do now: use the scaling command in Adobe
Illutstrator on the saved .eps file.
If I could apply a tick function direcly in the options list, I would be much
happier. I do not think the default size publishes well.
