XTICKS is the number of tick *intervals*. Which makes you wonder why it's not
called XTICKINTERVAL. In any case, the number of ticks produced is XTICKS+1.

Hi
I think this gives the result you want (xticks=1)
IDL> plot,findgen(5),xstyle=8
IDL> axis,/xaxis,xtickv=[1.5,2.5],xticks=1,xtickname=['Lo','Hi'],
xtitle='Only Want String labels'
IDL> print,!version
