You can pass a function to [XYZ]TICKFORMAT, and in this function you
can do anything you want, including calling the IDL function
FORMAT_AXIS_VALUES, which is the one that is called to format axis
values (that figures).

Actually, not quite anything you want, because the function passed to
[XYZ]TICKFORMAT function works on tick value at a time, so the number
of decimal places is likely to vary. So where IDL would show...

1.0 1.5 2.0

...FORMAT_AXIS_VALUES would give

1 1.5 2
