Module ticks 

Axis tick generation using the Talbot/Wilkinson extended algorithm.

This module implements the “An Extension of Wilkinson’s Algorithm for Positioning Tick Labels on Axes” algorithm (Talbot, Lin, Hanrahan, 2010). It produces aesthetically pleasing tick positions by jointly optimizing four objectives: simplicity, coverage, density, and legibility.

Structs

Tick

A single tick mark with its position in data space and a formatted label.

TickSet

A set of tick positions with formatted labels.

Functions

format_tick_value

Formats a single tick value to a compact, human-readable string.

format_timestamp

Formats a timestamp (seconds since the Unix epoch) as a calendar label, choosing granularity from the visible span_secs:

generate_log_minor_ticks

Generates minor tick positions for a log10 scale.

generate_ticks

Generates optimal tick positions for an axis range.
