Log-scaled axis have wrong minor tick count by default
Describe the bug
By default, log-scaled DefaultNumericAxis have 9 minor ticks where it should have 8. This can be seen in the LogAxisSample.java (screenshot taken from README):
DefaultNumericAxis yAxis = new DefaultNumericAxis();
yAxis.setLogAxis(true);
Log-scaled axis should have 8 minor ticks:
The problem is that minorTickCount defaults to 10 ("The number of actual minor tick marks will be one less than this") irrespective of the lin/log scale setting. See here.
One can work around this by explicitly setting the minorTickCount:
axis.setMinorTickCount(9); // actual number is one less
But ideally, and especially because this is the prime example given in the README, it should have a smarter default (9 or 10) depending on the lin/log setting when not explicitly overwritten by the user.
At the very least (poor-man solution) the example should be updated with the above workaround to point people to this unexpected behaviour.
