Bugs, ticks. Are you guys sure you are in the right newsgroup?
alt.bio.insects may be more appropriate.

idl6.4 linux seems to have this bug.

I dont think its a feature because you got minor ticks if you dont
specify yourself xrange. This sounds more a bug.

My mac with 6.4 has the behavior as well. So I bet the UNIX will
also.

Weird. This doesn't happen in my IDL 6.3, but does in IDL 6.4
on Windows. Is this happening in UNIX, too?

Hi,
it seems that the xstyle=1 triggers that behaviour. If you do
plot, indgen(11), xticks=5
minor tick mark are there, however do a
plot, indgen(11), xticks=5, /xstyle
they are gone. also, when you combine any other xstyle option with 1,
i.e. xstyle=9.
I noticed this behaviour earlier and thought of it as a feature, not a
bug. I just got used to setting the xminor keyword to whatever is
appropriate.
So long
Lasse

Another fabulous theory down the drain. I'm not

By the way, the error message, "Alright, then YOU do it!"
is being suppressed. It can be reactivated by using the
WIFE keyword on the Plot command.

Reimar refers to an embarrassing experience in the past,
whose only saving grace was that it caused Karsten
Rodenacker to feel so much pity for me he became
a good friend.

Well, at least I know now there is *something* about
doors that is confusing to others. That is some solace. :-)

I think the documentation is incomplete. I think it was meant to
say this:
If set to zero, the default, IDL automatically determines the
number of minor ticks in each major tick-mark interval, unless
you are totally screwing with its head by creating your own tick
values and names. Then it just throws up its hands and assumes
you know what the hell you are doing!

David
