1626  * @class Ticks are used as distance markers on a line or curve.
1627  * They are mainly used for axis elements and slider elements. Ticks may stretch infinitely
1628  * or finitely, which can be set with {@link Ticks#majorHeight} and {@link Ticks#minorHeight}.
1629  * <p>
1630  * There are the following ways to position the tick lines:
1631  * <ol>
1632  *  <li> If an array is given as optional second parameter for the constructor
1633  * like e.g. <tt>board.create('ticks', [line, [1, 4, 5]])</tt>, then there will be (fixed) ticks at position
1634  * 1, 4 and 5 of the line.
1635  *  <li> If there is only one parameter given, like e.g. <tt>board.create('ticks', [line])</tt>, the ticks will be set
1636  * equidistant across the line element. There are two variants:
1637  *    <ol type="i">
1638  *      <li> Setting the attribute <tt>insertTicks:false</tt>: in this case the distance between two major ticks
1639  *          is determined by the attribute <tt>ticksDistance</tt>. This distance is given in user units.
1640  *      <li> Setting the attribute <tt>insertTicks:true</tt>: in this case the distance between two major ticks
1641  *          is set automatically, depending on
1642  *          <ul>
1643  *              <li> the size of the board,
1644  *              <li> the attribute <tt>minTicksDistance</tt>,  which is the minimum distance between two consecutive minor ticks (in pixel).
1645  *          </ul>
1646  * The distance between two major ticks is a value of the form
1647  * <i>a 10<sup>i</sup></i>, where <i>a</i> is one of <i>{1, 2, 5}</i> and
1648  * the number <i>a 10<sup>i</sup></i> is maximized such that there are approximately
1649  * 6 major ticks and there are at least "minTicksDistance" pixel between minor ticks.
1650  * </ol>
1651  * <p>
1652  * For arbitrary lines (and not axes) a "zero coordinate" is determined
1653  * which defines where the first tick is positioned. This zero coordinate
1654  * can be altered with the attribute <tt>anchor</tt>. Possible values are "left", "middle", "right" or a number.
1655  * The default value is "left".
1656  *
1657  * @pseudo
1658  * @name Ticks
1659  * @augments JXG.Ticks
1660  * @constructor
1661  * @type JXG.Ticks
1662  * @throws {Exception} If the element cannot be constructed with the given parent objects an exception is thrown.
1663  * @param {JXG.Line|JXG.Curve} line The parents consist of the line or curve the ticks are going to be attached to.
1664  * @param {Array} [ticks] Optional array of numbers. If given, a fixed number of static ticks is created
1665  * at these user-supplied positions.
1666  * <p>
1667  * Deprecated: Alternatively, a number defining the distance between two major ticks
1668  * can be specified. However, this is meanwhile ignored. Use attribute <tt>ticksDistance</tt> instead.
