[vtk-developers] Request: Make certain methods related to tick labels in vtkAxis virtual

[Andy Bauer]

Hi,

Feel free to add that change into VTK yourself. There are developer
instructions at
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/Documentation/dev/git/develop.md
that can help guide you through the process.

Best,
Andy
