Set Major Ticks
=====================================

:func:`sysplot.set_major_ticks` replaces numeric tick labels with reduced
fractions of a unit. The tick step is ``unit * numerator / denominator``.
The ``mode`` parameter controls placement: ``"repeating"`` fills the visible
range, ``"single"`` places ticks at ``0`` and ``step`` only, and
``"symmetric"`` places ticks at ``-step``, ``0``, and ``step``.
