PLSMAJ(3plplot)

💅 PLSMAJ — set the length of your major ticks (yes, the big ones) 🎀

Okay bestie, welcome to plsmaj from the PLplot API (that's section 3plplot, iykyk). It's a tiny little function with one job and honestly? It slays at that job.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plsmaj(def, scale)

That's it. Two args, no drama. 🦋

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: plsmaj sets up the length of the major ticks. You know, the big ones on your axes — the main character ticks, not the little sidekick minor ones.

The way it works is iconic: the actual length you end up with is the product of the default length and a scaling factor, and this works just like it does for character height. So you're not setting the length directly, you're setting a vibe multiplier. Math girl summer. 🧮✨

Redacted form: plsmaj(def, scale)

And fun fact — this function is used in example 29. Go look, she's famous. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• def (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the default length of a major tick, measured in millimeters. Now listen: if you want the default length to stay exactly as it is, set this to zero. Zero = "no thoughts, keep it as is." Don't come for me, that's just how it works. 💀
• scale (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the scale factor applied to the default to get the actual tick length. This is your multiplier era. Multiply your way into longer or shorter major ticks. 🫶

Ngl, getting def wrong is the classic oopsie — remember it's in millimeters, and remember that 0 is the "leave it alone" code. 🙈
