To control ticks on a plot use the following keywords with your plot
calls:
[XYZ]TICKS = # - # is the number of major ticks
[XYZ]TICKNAME = strarr - The string array contains tick names
[XYZ]TICKLEN = # - # number is the length , 0<#<1
[XYZ]MINOR = # - # is the number of minor ticks
A seperate keyword is used for each axis. ie for 4 major ticks on
the x axis use XTICKS = 4. The help section on plot_keywords has
a more detailed description if one is needed. - Kirk
