The AXES statement draws X-Y axes. You may specify the tic spacing on each axis in WINDOW units by giving two arguments, one for the x tic spacing and one for the y tic spacing; the default 0,0 means don't draw ticks. You may then specify the axes origin in WINDOW units; the default is 0,0. Also, you may specify the number of ticks between major tick marks; the default is 1,1 meaning that every tick is major. Lastly, you may specify the major tick size in VIEWPORT units; the default is 2.
The axes extend across the soft-clip area and the tick marks are symmetric about the axes but are clipped by the soft-clip area. If the x or y axis is outside the clip area, then tick marks are drawn into the non-clip area. The axes and tick marks are drawn in the current line style and pen color. A major tick is placed at the axis origin. The minor tick marks are half the size of the major tick marks.
