There may be a bug in IDL 4.0 (What am I saying??!!)

I try this to an X-device and everything looks fine...

contour, dist(20), xtickname=['A','B','C','D','E','F','G']

but when I try the same command to a postscript device I get NO
xticknames whatsoever! What gives here? Enquiring minds want to know.

One may have problems with ytickname, etc., but I have not really
tested this out yet. Can this problem be replicated at your site?

No possibility. :-)

You can, however, always use the [XYZ}Tickformat keyword to
write a simple routine that can format the tick labels
anyway you like, which gives you the possibility of having
an unlimited number of string labels.

Cheers,
