graphics help

[Stefan Du Rietz]

Which Scilab version is this about?
http://wiki.scilab.org/Specificities_for_each_handles

and what level of language does it concern?

I think that Scilab is a magnificent program, but sometimes
it is a little difficult to find help on specific matters,
especially concerning graphics...

I am using 4.1.2 trying to get decent looking plots. Can
anyone tell me how to avoid very long y_tick marks in an
axes with a much larger width than height? I would like to
have the same length of y_tick marks as of x_tick marks (you
can fix that in Matlab). They also make the position of the
y_label to close to the y_tick.labels.
