From: Benjamin Hell on 5 Apr 2010 08:02 Hi guys, easy question this time. I want larger ticks on a plot. I know that I can use TicksStyle->Directive[Thickness[0.005], 50] to set the Thickness of the Ticks (here to 0.005) and the FontSize used for numbering the ticks (here to 50). I didn't figure out how to make the ticks longer. Thickness makes them broader, but does not influence the length. So how can I do that? Thanks in advance.

You can use the Ticks option to hand construct the tick marks according to the notes on the Ticks help page. But this is a bit of a chore if you want both major labeled and minor unlabeled ticks. It is a bit easier with the CustomTicks command in the Presentations package. Here I double the length of the tick marks. Needs["Presentations`Master`"] xticks = CustomTicks[Identity, {0, 7, 1, 5}, CTTickSpecs -> 2 {0.0125`, 0}, CTUnLabTickSpecs -> 2 {0.0075`, 0}]; yticks = CustomTicks[Identity, {-1, 1, .5, 5}, CTTickSpecs -> 2 {0.0125`, 0}, CTUnLabTickSpecs -> 2 {0.0075`, 0}]; Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}, Ticks -> {xticks, yticks}] You can also use CustomTicks to put on any kind of tick scale that has a 1-1 mapping to the underlying plot coordinates.
