# Radial Scale Properties Dialog Box, Minor Tick Marks

SQL Server 2008 R2

Select Minor Tick Marks on the Radial Scale Properties dialog box to define the appearance of tick marks on the scale of an individual linear gauge. Minor tick marks are marks placed in between intervals on the scale of a gauge.

By default, the gauge calculates the intervals automatically based on the minimum and maximum of the scale. If you specify an interval, this value will be used to determine how many tick marks are on the gauge. An interval offset is a constant value that is added to the interval on the scale.

## Options

Hide minor tick marks

Select this option to show or hide minor tick marks on the gauge. When minor ticks are hidden, no tick marks are displayed in between intervals on the scale.

Minor tick mark shape

Select a shape for the tick marks.

Minor tick mark placement

Select the placement of each tick mark on the scale.

• Inside   Minor tick marks are placed inside the scale bar, facing towards the center of the scale.

• Outside  Minor tick marks are placed outside the scale bar, facing away from the center of the scale.

• Cross   Minor tick marks are placed across the scale bar.
