TICKTURN specification (in PLOT operation)
By default, the (longer) tick lines indicating the scale notations
on the coordinate axis are drawn outside the graph area.
This convention can be changed by the TICKTURN specification.
TICKTURN does have no effect on shorter tick lines specified by TICK
and TICK2. Those ticks appear always inside the graph area.
TICKTURN=-1 draws the longer scale notation ticks inside the graph area.
In general, TICKTURN=x draws tick lines of length x times the default
length (or the length determined by TICKLENGTH) and the sign of x
indicates the direction.
Default is TICKTURN=1.
