A "TickBar" is one of the main components used to construct a gauge. However usually it is not necessary for you to use a tick bar control directly because the scale control automatically creates tick bars and is much easier to use.

A TickBar arranges major and minor "ticks" at given intervals. Each "tick" is usually a Label or a Shape object. The following image contains two tick bars: one with "Label" (text numbers) ticks and one with "Shape" (lines) ticks.

EO.Wpf provides two types of TickBar: LinearTickBar RollingTickBar. While these controls can be used independently, it is usually not necessary ---- the corresponding scale control ( LinearScale and RollingScale) are usually more convenient because a scale control usually assembles multiple tick bar controls together. For example, the above image is the result of a LinearScale that contains two LinearTickBar. Nevertheless, it is important to understand the basic concepts of tick bars in order to use the scale controls effectively.
