I wrote some object graphics axes and found out that I
cannot change the data range without scaling the font at
the same time.
The solution to kill the axis and re-create them is not
very pretty. Does somebody have a better solution?

I had no Title's in my axis. This keyword worked on the
ticktexts. (IDL 5.2.1 Intel Windows machine)

This works for the axis title but not for the tick text, i.e. the following
oaxis->GetProperty, TICKTEXT=ticktext
ticktext->SetProperty, RECOMPUTE_DIMENSIONS=2
has no effect. An extra keyword to IDLgrAxis::Init, allowing this behaviour
to be overridden, would be nice.
