 * @fileoverview Description of this file.
 * @author danvk@google.com (Dan Vanderkam)
 *
 * A ticker is a function with the following interface:
 *
 * function(a, b, pixels, options_view, dygraph, forced_values);
 * -> [ { v: tick1_v, label: tick1_label[, label_v: label_v1] },
 *      { v: tick2_v, label: tick2_label[, label_v: label_v2] },
 *      ...
 *    ]
 *
 * The returned value is called a "tick list".
 *
 * Arguments
 * ---------
 *
 * [a, b] is the range of the axis for which ticks are being generated. For a
 * numeric axis, these will simply be numbers. For a date axis, these will be
 * millis since epoch (convertable to Date objects using "new Date(a)" and "new
 * Date(b)").
 *
 * opts provides access to chart- and axis-specific options. It can be used to
 * access number/date formatting code/options, check for a log scale, etc.
 *
 * pixels is the length of the axis in pixels. opts('pixelsPerLabel') is the
 * minimum amount of space to be allotted to each label. For instance, if
 * pixels=400 and opts('pixelsPerLabel')=40 then the ticker should return
 * between zero and ten (400/40) ticks.
 *
 * dygraph is the Dygraph object for which an axis is being constructed.
 *
 * forced_values is used for secondary y-axes. The tick positions are typically
 * set by the primary y-axis, so the secondary y-axis has no choice in where to
 * put these. It simply has to generate labels for these data values.
 *
 * Tick lists
 * ----------
 * Typically a tick will have both a grid/tick line and a label at one end of
 * that line (at the bottom for an x-axis, at left or right for the y-axis).
 *
 * A tick may be missing one of these two components:
 * - If "label_v" is specified instead of "v", then there will be no tick or
 *   gridline, just a label.
 * - Similarly, if "label" is not specified, then there will be a gridline
 *   without a label.
 *
 * This flexibility is useful in a few situations:
 * - For log scales, some of the tick lines may be too close to all have labels.
 * - For date scales where years are being displayed, it is desirable to display
 *   tick marks at the beginnings of years but labels (e.g. "2006") in the
 *   middle of the years.
