[Solved]: When describing a CS paper, can it be assumed that the meaning of "tick" is known?

Problem Detail: 

I thinkt this question fits better here than on english.stackexchange.

When describing a figure in a computer science paper, is it safe to use "tick" meaning "tick mark"?

Examples:
... (see the thick line right of tick "17") meaning tick mark "17"
or ... increase at tick "1e+02" ... increase at tick mark "1e+02".
