Dear group, I am having some difficulties with the TickMarks. For a publishable graph, a set tickmarks and use a frame. However Mathematica sometimes changes the major ticks marks to the length of the minor ticks. Then i thought to set the lenghts explicitly, but the following puzzles me (tickmark position are a bit strange but they illustrate the problem). p = Plot[t t , {t, 0, tend}, Frame -> True, PlotRange -> {0, 11}, FrameTicks -> {Range[0, 10, 2], {0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10}, None, None} ] p = Plot[t t , {t, 0, tend}, Frame -> True, PlotRange -> {0, 11}, FrameTicks -> {Range[0, 10, 2], {0.01, 0.1, 1, 10}, None, None} ] FrameTicks /. AbsoluteOptions[p] gives for all tickmarks {0.00625, 0.} as length specification for both graphs. However, you can clearly see the tickmarks length decrease when FrameTicks includes 0.001. FrameTicks -> {Range[0, 10, 2], {0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10}, None, None} instead of FrameTicks -> {Range[0, 10, 2], {0.01, 0.1, 1, 10}, None, None} How can i make sure the tickmarks ALWAYS have the same length regardless of PlotRange and tickmark positions? And why does Mathematica give the same tickmark lengths when we can cleary see the lengths on the hor. axis change? Regards, Bernd
