How can I modify the length of minor ticks?
I mean without changing the length of major ticks (with ticklen)
Is there a minorticklen or something similar??
thanks.

Never mind... Did it with the tickFormat='(A1)' for the plot and
adding the "AXIS" procedure:
plot, [.....], XtickFormat='(A1)', YtickFormat='(A1)'
Axis, xAxis=0, xStyle=1, xr = xr, /save
cheers,
Noah

Hi,
Thank you for your answer. This is true, it doesn't really matter
whether it is a minor or major tick mark as long as it is a line
across the plot.
But I still want to have the major tick marks values written on the
side of the axis an not the minor tick marks. It's way too crowded
when both are present...
Would you have any ideas on how to show only the major ticks marks
values keeping the lines across the plot window for both minor and
major tick marks.
Thanks for your consideration.
Noah

Hi,
as I understand it it doesn't really matter for you whether it is a
minor or mayor tick mark as long as there is a line across the plot
window? If so, you can use the (x|y|z)tickv keyword to tell IDL where
to draw mayor tick marks and then set (x|y|z)ticklen to 1.0.
Cheers
