If you want a 1:1 ratio of Tick Size to Number of Bars, then this would be accomplished by using either of the Gann Fan options for "Value Increment per Bar Set From" of:
- From Tool: set this to "1" * ticksize
- From Chart Settings: and set "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawing >> Value Increment per Bar in Ticks" to a value of 1.0

Again, this will give you a 45 degree angle as defined by "number of ticks"/"number of bars".

This is explained at the following link:
Chart Drawing Tools: Viewing Angle in Degrees, Related Settings, Understanding Angled Lines on Charts

Note that it took me a long time to understand this myself. Just keep in mind that you are dealing with bars and ticks, not time and price.
