Subsidiary graduations are vertical or horizontal tick marks located in the body of the chart. Subsidiary graduations may appear on large-size charts or on charts where a graduated border cannot be generated. Subsidiary graduations are made independently from the border.
When adding subsidiary graduations, the spacing between the tick lines will be calculated according to the properties of the active panel and the graduations will be generated automatically.
There are four ready-made templates listed in the Template Editor. These can be used for new graduations to suit your charting specifications.
• Latitude 1 minute
• Latitude 6 seconds
• Longitude 1 minute
• Longitude 6 seconds
