Mike, John, or anyone else who works directly with Ticks:
I think you are the only ones who have worked with the code I suggest
changing as in the attached diff. It looks to me like the three *Tick
methods, set_view_interval(), get_minpos(), get_data_interval(), are
unused and unlikely ever to have been or to be used. I particularly
object to the first of these because I don't think a Tick has any
business changing the view interval. The other two look like clutter,
harmless except insofar as they make it harder to understand the code.
If some projection actually does end up needing the functionality in any
of these methods, it is still available via *Tick.axes.xaxis.* etc.
Am I missing something? If not, I will commit this to the trunk. This
is a case where I think immediate surgery is better than a deprecation
process.
Thanks.
Eric

2010-08-21 Change Axis.set_view_interval() so that when updating an
existing interval, it respects the orientation of that
interval, and can enlarge but not reduce the interval.
