Dear MathGroup members,

As we rasterize 3D images at higher and higher resolutions, every image 
element should get proportionally bigger and bigger. However, tick marks 
stop growing after a while. Is there a way to ensure that tick marks 
should grown proportionally to the rest of the graphic, like text does?

Evaluate this code to see an illustration of the problem:

g = Graphics3D[Sphere[], Axes -> True, ImageSize -> 200]

Table[Image[
   ImageResize[Rasterize[g, "Image", ImageResolution -> n 72],
    Scaled[1/n]], Magnification -> 1], {n, 6}]

Column[Table[
    Image[Rasterize[g, "Image", ImageResolution -> n 72],
          Magnification -> 1],
    {n, 6}], Alignment -> Left]


(warning: produces large images as output!)
