I'm working on a problem that involves creating a large group of
ListPlots, and the scales of the individual plots are not necessarily
similar. When displaying these plots together in a GraphicsArray, the
tick mark values on the plot axes can be bunched so tightly that they
are illegible. What I would like to do is display a single tick mark
on each axis at the maximum value of the axis. In the documentation
for Ticks, it says that you can supply a "function to be applied to
x_min, x_max to get the tick mark option," but I've been unsuccesful in
getting this to work. I've tried
Ticks->{Max[#1,#2]&,None}
Ticks->{Max[#]&,None}
Ticks->{Max,None}
to no avail. Does anyone know how this setting for Ticks is intended
to function? I have spent some time going through the group archives
and found many references to the DrawGraphics package which includes a
CustomTicks function; if all else fails I'm sure that would be a
solution, but I was hoping for something more straightforward. Thanks
in advance!
