This did work once, and we should get it fixed up and tested. The
vtkAxis class has been one of the toughest to get right, in terms of
the flexibility required, rounding issues, autoscale, nice numbers.

As Eric noted, you could set the tick positions/labels manually. It
wouldn't take much to fix this up, and add a test for the axes and
some of these corner cases. Let me see if I can take a look at this
later.
