Description

Use this statement to change either the size or text of a tick mark in a slider's scale.

Though tick marks cannot be deleted, setting a tick's size to 0 and a tick's text to the null string will visually accomplish deletion.

If the program is compiled with external strings, then any string literals used in this statement will be externalized.
