This works:

IDL> iplot, x, y, xtickvalues=x, xmajor=5, xrange=[-6.5, 7.5], $
xtickname=Strtrim(x,2)

Which leads me to wonder if this is a documentation problem, rather
than an iPlot problem. The solution has an "object graphics" flavor
to it that the technical writer might have missed.

Cheers,

David
