\newif\ifpgfplots@log@tick@isminor@tick@pos
% Checks whether the tick position given as #1.#2=log10(T) belongs to
% T=i*10^j with an integer i>1.
%
% If T=i*10^j,  \ifpgfplots@log@tick@isminor@tick@pos will be set to true and
% \pgfmathresult will contain T.
%
% Otherwise, \ifpgfplots@log@tick@isminor@tick@pos will be set to false and
% pgfmathresult to #1.#2
%
% Arguments:
% #1.#2  the value log10(T)
%
% Implementation:
% if T = i*10^j,  log10(T) = log10(i) + j.
% That means if log10(T) in \Z,  we have T = 10^j. If not, we need to
% check whether i is an integer. Please note that log10(i) < 1.
%
% Further note: log(T) < 0 <=>  j<0.
% In case j<0, we have
%   #1.#2 = j + log(i)
%         = - ( -j - log(i) )
%         = - ( -j - 1  + (1-log(i)) )
%         = #1 '.' #2 [ up to the '0.'
% that means #1 = j-1  and #2 = 1-log(i).

% Draws tick labels at the positions of the currently set oriented

%
% Tick positions are taken out of the already precomputed list
% \pgfplots@prepared@tick@positions@major@...
%
% For 2D axes, this task is relatively simple:
% we iterate through every prepared major tick position and place a
% tick label. Open points, however, are the question whether to use
% the RIGHT or the LEFT axis line on the current oriented surface:
%
%        direction 'b' (second oriented)
% |-------------------------|
% |                         |
% |                         |
% |                         |direction 'a' (first oriented)
% |                         |
% |                         |
% |                         |
% |-------------------------|
% Left                  Right
%
% Given the axis line which shall contain the labels, we have to
% decide how to align the tick label nodes: on the left or on the
% right? Of course, we want to align them such that they are "outside"
% of the figure! That's simple as well: "Left axis line => outside
% means left", "Right axis line => outside means right".
%
% That's all, basically.
%
% For 3D axes, all these points are basically ... the same!
% Now it can happen that the current oriented surface shall
% not contain ANY tick label. In that case, we do nothing.
% Furthermore, the "outside" direction (i.e. the anchoring of the
% label nodes) is a little bit more difficult.
%

% This here does the main work for any tick label ANCHORING.
%
% FIXME : the new 'near ticklabel' anchors are now the default method
% to place tick labels.
%
% This feature here can be used to disable this anchoring, i.e. set
% 'ticklabel anchor=tikz' to use a stupid heuristics.
%
% There are actually two choices:
% Choice 1: near ticklabel
% 	This choice places tick labels fully automatic outside of the
% 	figure, all on a line which is parallel to the axis which
% 	contains the corresponding tick labels.
%
% 	Since we are currently working on a restricted surface, we have
% 	three direction related to that surface:
% 		'a': this is the direction in which tick positions are known.
% 		'b': the 'orthogonal' axis to 'a' which is also in the surface.
% 		'n': the surface normal.
% 	Now, the idea for tick labels is to place them at
% 		SCALE_b * b + SCALE_n * n,
% 	where the SCALE_[bn] numbers are chosen such that the label is
% 	outside of the axis.
%
% 	The offset is simply added to the transformation matrix (as a
% 	shift).
%
% Choice 2: tikz.
%   This is more or less a backwards compatibility feature. It does
%   not change the transformation matrix. It simply sets the 'at' key
%   of each node to the tick position and prepares the correct anchors
%   for the TikZ '\node' commands.
%   That's all here.
%

%   - called inside of  \pgfplots@drawticklabels@onorientedsurf@

% Computes tick positions using the current axis limits.

% Parameters:
% /pgfplots/max space between ticks
%    Determines the maximum space which is not filled by at least one
%    tick label (approximate, there is some rounding internally)
% /pgfplots/try min ticks
%    see manual
%
% Idea:
% We want ticks at each
%    { i*H, i in \Z }.
% Of course, there shouldn't be TOO MUCH ticks.
%
% Our heuristics is to set
%    desirednumticks = round(ACTUAL WIDTH / (max space between ticks) )
% and generate H = (axis range) / (desirednumticks).
%
% Since not all step sizes H look well, restrict H to a set of allowed
% step sizes such as
%   { 1, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10 },
% or, to be more precise:
%   { 1*10^e, 2*10^e, 5*10^e }
% -> round to the nearest matching number!
% This yields H (for example as 2*10^e). Then, compute i*H, i \in \Z
%
% The data scaling transformation T(x) makes things more complicated.
% Now, T(x) = q * x - p  and we need to check for problems with large
% numbers:
%   - q* H = ( T(Max) - T(Min) ) / desirednumticks = q * (Max - Min) / desirednumticks.
%   - Using floating point arithmetics, (Max-Min)/desirednumticks (unscaled!)
%   is analysed to restrict H to {1*10^e, 2*10^e, 5*10^e}.
%   - So, we get  q * H  (we can't use the 'p' shift of the affine trafo here).
%   - The next problem is to compute { I*H, I in \Z } because
%   	I = trunc( Min / H )  = trunc(  ( T(Min) + p ) / (q*H) ).
%     This can be seen by Min = I*H + rest   and thus T(Min) = I*q*H + q*rest -p.
%     The Problem: (T(min)+p ) / (q*H) can be TOO BIG for pgfmath.
%   -> for the data scaling case, I will use floating point
%   arithmetics to compute that last step.
%   I will acquire \pgfplots@[xy]min@unscaled@as@float here.
%
%
%
%
%
% For log-plots,
% 	H in { j*log(10), j=1,2,3,... }
% where the usual case should be j = 1.
%
% Then, the resulting tick is
% TICK={MIN,MIN+H,...,MAX}
% where
%    MIN = I*H
% is chosen such that
%    axis minimum limit = I*H + rest; |rest| < H.
%
% Again, log plots follow a slightly different approach: here,
%   MIN = I * log(10)
% is chosen such that
%    axis minimum limit = I*log(10) + rest; |rest| < log(10)
% while H = j*log(10), j>=1.
%
%
% PRECONDITION:
% - limits are correct
% - axis width/height is set correctly
%
% POSTCONDITION:
% - Tick for axis #1 is assigned
% - \ifpgfplots@determinedefaultvalues@needs@check@uniformtick is set
%
% REMARKS:
% - this algorithms works also if the data range has been transformed
%   with a LINEAR transformation.
%   ATTENTION: as of 2008-05-15, the scaling trafo is AFFINE LINEAR.
%   That means we have to eliminate the 'affine' shifting before the
%   algorithms works correctly.

% Adds a further, temporary anchor to every node which will be
% processed. The anchor will be named '#2'. It is placed such that
% 1. the node's center is on a line in direction of the inwards normal
% vector of the #1 ticklabel axis and the 'at' position of the node,
% 2. the node does not intrude the axis.
%
% In effect, one of the node's standard anchors (north, east, ... )
% will be placed on the line

% @REMARKS:
% 	- it is -by no means- necessary that any ticks or tick labels are
% 	drawn or defined for this method.
% 	- in fact, tick labels use such an anchor (the 'near #1ticklabel'
% 	anchor is defined in this way)
