Hi,
good question! Well I just played with this and got a solution. First,
I would suggest saving the value of ![xy]tickname before you set it, and
then afterwards restore the value (this way your application wont change
the system variable. If you don't care what it was before, then the
following seem to work:
![xy].tickname = strarr(30)
Seems that a good rule of thumb is to look at the system variables value
when you start idl (to get the default settings)

Thanks for the idea, gents.

I find this useful... In my wavestartup file (I don't know what the
corresponding IDL startup file is), I have:
SAVE, Filename='/home/Wave/system.vars', /System
Then, I have a 'clean.com' script that does (among other things):
RESTORE, '/home/Wave/system.vars'
This makes a very convenient way of restoring all the system variables. It's
a bit overkill to save them every time I start WAVE, but this way it's a
no-brainer when WAVE upgrades, and the SAVE file format and system variables
change....
