major-label-frequency

Arguments: chart-axis

Returns the value of the major-label-frequency property of a chart-axis. The value may be set at creation time by passing the :major-label-frequency initarg, or any time later by calling (setf major-label-frequency).

The number of major tic positions between successive major tic labels. The value should be a positive integer. The default value is 1, which means that a label is drawn at every major tic position (when major tic labels are drawn at all). A value of 2 would draw a label only at every other major tic position, while 3 would draw a label at every third major tic position, and so on.

This property is used only when the draw-major-labels property of the chart-axis is true.
