Kevin Ivory and Tim Osborn both came up with the same
method for suppressing axis labels. Kevin wrote:

This is a method I should have thought of myself. :-)

But what I've always done (and I am ashamed to say I
don't even *really* know why it works) is this:

Plot, data, XTickformat='(A1)'

Nuts, now I'm going to have to think up a new question
for admission into the IDL Expert Programmers Association. :-(

Cheers,

David
