So the only thing left currently is something like drawing that tick manually using the MAP_TICK_LENGTH_PRIMARY and MAP_TICK_PEN_PRIMARY? I wonder how approximately? I can calculate tick direction angle cause I...

I don't understand how to make a small custom axis exactly positioned where I need it and at the needed angle. E.g. projection is `-R-90/10/-90/-60 -Js0/-90/-65/$scale` so the right axis...

Sure, thanks for answering!

workaround (the plot above was updated just in case) ``` SCALE=1:25000000 FONT=10p,Helvetica THETA=10 # 10 degrees #Y 90 S tick, missing on the basemap frame/axes ticks echo 0 -90 -$THETA...

You are absolutely right, the docs clearly state that "size" is the length of the vector head. I just somehow missed it while reading the docs. Anyway I did not...

There's an excellent section in the Technical reference: [The Drawing of Vectors](https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/6.6/reference/features.html#the-drawing-of-vectors) Would be excellent if it is cited in `gmt plot` documentation, section about drawing vectors

`-Bsn -Bxaf` works as expected: `-Bw -Byaf` works as expected: `-Bwe -Byaf` works as expected:

Thanks, that makes lot sense! Not a real bug then but the secondary axis config gets precedence. Would probably be not bad to have this mentioned somewhere in the docs....

Now, the below is probably a feature request: For Cartesian axes `-Bs` disables both annotations and the Cartesian axis label no matter that the label was specified explicitly, while `-BS`...

Sorry yes that was a typo, `-Bs`, that one-liner should read `gmt basemap -R0/1/0/1 -JX5c -Bxaf+l"Distance, km" -Bs -Byaf -png test`. Corrected also above. The on-liner was supposed to produce...
