Sure it can. The idea is, that you can just add a few ticks to an
automatically created ticks. If you want to disable automatically
created ticks, you just need to set parter=None in the axis
constructor. Unfortunately, as I've found out now by your example,
that the manual set ticks do not win against ticks created by the
parter as it is stated in the manual. The problem is, that merging of
the ticks is the wrong operation here. I'll just try to correct that
for the future. But beside that its the intended behavior. Might still
be worth a discussion, but I think its a nice feature to be able to
mix ticks which are set manually and which are created automatically.
