Hi Akos,

Perhaps next time use a smaller demo image :)

I'd call this option "tick marks" since that is a widely used term in
numerical plotting and "tick" or "tickmark" seems easier to picture
than "subscale".

I think this would be a very useful addition for the grid module
(GeoTools 10.x). If you would like to prepare either a patch or a pull
request to get things started that would be great.
