Hi everybody -

I'm putting together a 5-minute presentation on J for a "Language Slapdown"
next week here in NYC - http://www.meetup.com/Language-Slapdown/ .

I'd like to show a few colorful graphs but I'm hitting a problem I've had
before but ignored: the default for axis labels doesn't reflect the true
(X-axis) values without a lot of work.  For example,

   load 'plot'

   plargs=. 'pensize 5;key f g f+g g-f;keystyle fat;keypos rti; '

   plargs=. plargs ,'keyfont Courier 14'



   f=: 1 0 _0.3 0.01 0.004 &p.    *NB. 1+0x-0.3x^2+0.01x^3+0.004x^4*

   g=: 3 0.5 0.1 _0.02 _0.006 &p. *NB. 3+0.5x+0.1x^2-0.02x^3-0.006x^4*



   plargs plot (f, g, (f+g),: g-f) i: 6j99

This gives an interesting plot but the X-axis doesn't reflect the values _6
to 6.  If I use something like "xlabel ',":i:6j99", the axis values are
unreadable as it tries to put all the numbers in.  Is there an easy way to
specify that the labels should be something like "i:6j6" but still plot
against the X-values of i:6j99?

Thanks,

Devon
