Description Wolfram Manthey CLA 2005-05-11 12:04:27 EDT 
The Scale widget's API does not allow to set the number of tick markers (e.g.
fixed every 10 increments @win32). This looks ugly for non-multiple maxima and
limits the graphical indication.

A setTicks method would help and is applicable natively for most platforms.
Comment 1 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2005-05-12 11:03:21 EDT 
I'll look into that. If you know how to implement this API on win32,carbon, 
gtk, motif, or photon and you want to colaborate you can do that. Thanks.
Comment 2 Wolfram Manthey CLA 2005-05-12 12:09:59 EDT 
I can look after win32 and photon implementations. (eventually carbon)
