That's too bad about the object graphics thing. It would
be so elegant, and only take about 45 minutes. :-)
How about something like this then.
FUNCTION animal_names, axis, index, value
names = ['cat', 'dog', '1.7', 'fish']
RETURN, names[index]
END
x=[2,4,6,8]
y=[200,400,600,800]
plot,x,y, XTickformat='Animal_Names'
Cheers,
David
