Yes, my mistake as mentioned earlier, sorry.

It would be nice to have the autoscale logic be able to
handle the scaling to waste less space, I think.  I see
you have a comment from 20010831 in axis.c:make_tics()
that is suggestive.  The logic in axis.c regarding tics
appears quite delicate.

How hard do you think it would be to start/end the axis
on a minitic rather than a major tic if too large a
fraction of the range is wasted?

If you give me some suggestions, I would be glad to see
if I can make it work but don't want to tackle it if
it doesn't make sense.

Thanks - Jim
