Here's an equivalent function, based heavily on Paul's code, that
should do what you want:

FUNCTION croppedtickmarks, axis, index, value
; number of decimal digits:
ndecdig = ceil(-(alog10(value))) > 0
; string version
ndigitstr = string(ndecdig, format='(I0)')
; reformat value with the desired number of decimal places. use
integers for 0
if ndecdig eq 0 then tickmark = string(value, format='(I0)') $
else tickmark = string(value, format='(F0.'+ndigitstr+')')
return, tickmark
END

-Jeremy.
