8 * @fileoverview Description of this file.
9 * @author danvk@google.com (Dan Vanderkam)
10 *
11 * A ticker is a function with the following interface:
12 *
13 * function(a, b, pixels, options_view, dygraph, forced_values);
14 * -> [ { v: tick1_v, label: tick1_label[, label_v: label_v1] },
15 * { v: tick2_v, label: tick2_label[, label_v: label_v2] },
16 * ...
17 * ]
18 *
19 * The returned value is called a "tick list".
20 *
21 * Arguments
22 * ---------
23 *
24 * [a, b] is the range of the axis for which ticks are being generated. For a
25 * numeric axis, these will simply be numbers. For a date axis, these will be
26 * millis since epoch (convertable to Date objects using "new Date(a)" and "new
27 * Date(b)").
28 *
29 * opts provides access to chart- and axis-specific options. It can be used to
30 * access number/date formatting code/options, check for a log scale, etc.
31 *
32 * pixels is the length of the axis in pixels. opts('pixelsPerLabel') is the
33 * minimum amount of space to be allotted to each label. For instance, if
34 * pixels=400 and opts('pixelsPerLabel')=40 then the ticker should return
35 * between zero and ten (400/40) ticks.
36 *
37 * dygraph is the Dygraph object for which an axis is being constructed.
38 *
39 * forced_values is used for secondary y-axes. The tick positions are typically
40 * set by the primary y-axis, so the secondary y-axis has no choice in where to
41 * put these. It simply has to generate labels for these data values.
42 *
43 * Tick lists
44 * ----------
45 * Typically a tick will have both a grid/tick line and a label at one end of
46 * that line (at the bottom for an x-axis, at left or right for the y-axis).
47 *
48 * A tick may be missing one of these two components:
49 * - If "label_v" is specified instead of "v", then there will be no tick or
50 * gridline, just a label.
51 * - Similarly, if "label" is not specified, then there will be a gridline
52 * without a label.
53 *
54 * This flexibility is useful in a few situations:
55 * - For log scales, some of the tick lines may be too close to all have labels.
56 * - For date scales where years are being displayed, it is desirable to display
57 * tick marks at the beginnings of years but labels (e.g. "2006") in the
58 * middle of the years.
