Brian,
Better yet, see the system variable !xtickformat:
"Set this keyword to a string or a vector of strings. The string can
be a format string or a string containing the name of a function that
returns a string to be used to format the axis tick mark labels. If a
vector is provided, each string corresponds to a level of the axis.
" (see idl help on !xtickformat for more information.)
You need to provide a function to format the labels for each level,
then set:
!xtickformat=['label_funct_1', 'label_funct_2, ...]
This should do what you want.
Cheers,
Bill
