Slider ticks

[Mo_Al_]

Hello

This came up in a discussion elsewhere recently, but fltk 2.0 used to support ticks for sliders. Would it be useful to port this functionality to FLTK 1.4 as well?

Can you please elaborate what "ticks for sliders" means exactly, i.e.
describe the desired behavior? API, callback functionality, etc..

It's a visual representation of the steps of the slider. Similar to what can be seen here:

https://www.fltk.org/doc-2.0/html/classSlider.html

Ticks can be placed in different positions:

enum  
{
  LINEAR, TICK_ABOVE, TICK_LEFT, TICK_BELOW,
  TICK_RIGHT, TICK_BOTH, LOG
}

These could be passed type(), but in FLTK 1.4 uses different types, so maybe these could be passed into a tick_type() function.
It should have no bearing on callback functionality.
