Mike,

It is alright with me if you'd like to put some effort into cleaning up tic placement in 3D.  However, let me say a couple things.

As Ethan pointed out, there are a few issues.  One is to unify code when possible, such as the example of "map" and 2D drawing should basically be the same routine.  Another issue for which I think there should be some discussion is consistent and intuitive plot layout in terms of white space at the margins and color box placement.  When I look at 3D plots, sometimes things aren't quite in balance the way I think they should be.  There is an element of not knowing the extent in 2D of a 3D image (project).  But perhaps we can come up with something to make better use of the space by default.

Also, if we are going the route of cleaning up tic placement in one or two modes, I'd like to have the group review the patch I created for tic placement (I think it was time axis or something, I can't remember exactly what) before things get changed too much that the patch needs a lot of redoing.  I'm pretty sure I can convince people of why it is a worthwhile patch... It solved a bug of dropping a tic mark at the end of an axis.
