Down and left tic length determines length of downward

portions of tic marks to be drawn along X-axis and left side
portion of tic marks to be drawn along Y-axis. Value is
s p e c i f i e d a s p e r c e n t a g e o f h o r i z o n t a l s c a l e l e n g t h P 1x - P 2X .
Plotter, when initialized, automatically sets tic length
v a l u e s t o 0 . 5 % o f s c a l i n g l e n g t h s ( P 1y - P 2Y a n d P 1x - P 2X ) .
P r o g r a m shown below uses tic length command to draw a grid
within plotting area of plot. Note that only U P a n d r i g h t
length parameter is specified, since only area above X-axis
and to right of Y-axis is being used. Since down and left tic
length is not specified, plotter uses length of 0 (no tic
marks).
