Did you set RECOMPUTE_DIMENSIONS keyword to the axis text objects to 2?
Something like this:

x_axis -> getProperty, ticktext=x_tick_labels
x_tick_labels -> setProperty, recompute=2
x_title = obj_new('IDLgrText', 'X title', recompute=2)
x_axis -> setProperty, title=x_title, tickformat='(G0.1)'

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pavel
