Description Justin 2021-03-01 19:01:02 UTC
Provide an automatic tick spacing that fits what most users expect when first creating a graph, similar to AutoLocator/AutoLogLocator/etc in matplotlib. For a linear plot to the nearest rounded digit, log plot label every unit of 10, etc. The default of 6 ticks between min and max values is not very intuitive for new users.

LabPlot now guesses the number of ticks using the axis range which works quite well.
