R/guide_prism_minor.R

In ggprism: A 'ggplot2' Extension Inspired by 'GraphPad Prism'

#' Axis guide with minor ticks
#'
#' This guide is like the standard \code{\link[ggplot2]{guide_axis}}, but
#' with minor ticks.
#'
#' The number of minor ticks can be changed using the `minor_breaks`
#' argument. Control the length of minor ticks by setting
#' `prism.ticks.length` to a \code{\link[grid]{unit}} object using
#' \code{\link[ggplot2]{theme}}, for example:
#' `prism.ticks.length = unit(2, "pt")`. The major tick lengths
#' are adjusted using the standard `axis.ticks.length`.
#'
#' @inheritParams ggplot2::guide_axis
#'
#' @return Returns a \emph{prism_minor} guide class object.
#'
#' @example inst/examples/ex-guide_prism_minor.R
