Method generate

3rdparty/qcustomplot/qcustomplot.cpp:6186–6209

! This is the method called by QCPAxis in order to actually generate tick coordinates (\a ticks), tick label strings (\a tickLabels) and sub tick coordinates (\a subTicks). The ticks are generated for the specified \a range. The generated labels typically follow the specified \a locale, \a formatChar and number \a precision, however this might be different (or even irrelevant) for cer

  to \a ticks by index.
