Let me add one little addendum to this. You should be able to set the
values you want by using the TICKVALUES and TICKTEXT as keywords as Ben
explained. These properties along with the other TICK* keywords should
be enough for most people. However, there have been times when I've
needed to do additional things with the axis that couldn't be done
through the interface in IDLgrColorbar. Since then I've always been in
the habit of having both an IDLgrColorbar and and IDLgrAxis.
