-The largest increment is given by a triangle (or "flag"). After those come full
-lines (barbs). The smallest increment is a half line. There is only, of
-course, ever at most 1 half line. If the magnitude is small and only needs a
-single half-line and no full lines or triangles, the half-line is offset from
-the end of the barb so that it can be easily distinguished from barbs with a
-single full line. The magnitude for the barb shown above would nominally be
-65, using the standard increments of 50, 10, and 5.
