Hi, I've posted a package in the MathSource archive that members of MathGroup might be interested in. It's called TickControl and is designed to make customizing tick marks easier. It's filed under "Mathematica Technology" -> "Programming" -> "Graphics and Plotting" or http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/5217/ The functions provided in TickControl allow you to control the spacing, style, size, labeling, and axis direction of ticks on plot frames or axes, in any plotting routine that accepts the Ticks or FrameTicks options. These functions allow you to characterize the desired set or sets of major and minor ticks in one step, with the resulting ticklist(s) automatically spanning the entire plot region. TickControl also provides a function useful for labeling graphics arrays. The "Guide to TickControl" posted with the package includes notes on generating publication-ready plots, including a discussion on using TickControl with Markus Lischka's StackedGraphicsArray package, for generating arrays of plots with shared axes.
