[ 1004754 ] Tics and grid slightly outside border.

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

To make bug 1004754 work properly and remove the grid line from outside the plot, I commented out the following lines of code from gen_tics() in axis.c:

	/* {{{  a few tweaks and checks */
	/* watch rounding errors */
//	end += SIGNIF * step;
	/* HBB 20011002: adjusting the endpoints doesn't make sense if
	 * some oversmart user used a ticstep (much) larger than the
	 * yrange itself */
//	if (step < (fabs(lmax) + fabs(lmin))) {
//	    internal_max = lmax + step * SIGNIF;
//	    internal_min = lmin - step * SIGNIF;
//	} else {
	    internal_max = lmax;
	    internal_min = lmin;
//	}


Now I see what you were talking about, Hans.  This SIGNIF is derived analogous to what I had proposed for TOL the other day.  I think what I had proposed--which I'm now happy to do without--made a bit more sense than whatever this is attempting to do.  Why (rhetorical question) would there be a need to tweak in any way the tic marks in such a visible way?

This should be straightforward x_i = tic * i + x_start and range check.  [It also could have been done as x_i = ((last_tic - first_tic) * i) / num_tics.]

Note the use of an integer i to compute a tic location.

gen_tics() should be re-examined.  I don't know if that should be done before 4.2 though.
