You can get the tick text strings (see below) and see how many of them
there are. A better solution, while more complicated, is to set your
own number of major tickmarks, the data range, etc. Then you guarantee
yourself that you'll always get something logical, but it's more work.

IDLgrAxis -> GetProperty, TICKTEXT = ticktext
ticktext -> GetProperty, STRINGS = strings
