But, IDL could be nicer by giving us more control over primitive layout,
if we are insane enough (such as myself) to actually want such control.
;-) I am grateful IDL does create tick text objects for us, but that
still does not remove my general feeling that IDL could be nicer, much
nicer.

As I continue my IDL education, I see more and more that IDL is a
*product* rather than a *programming language*.
