[vtkusers] using strings for axis tick labels.

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Jenya,

I don't see a way to do it with vtkCubeAxesActor (although I've never used it myself), but with vtkChartXY you can access the axes with chart->GetAxis(int index) and set the tick labels with strings through a vtkStringArray and axis->SetTickLabels(vtkStringArray *). To get the axis to not set the tick positions automatically you'll have to use axis->SetBehavior(vtkAxis::CUSTOM) and axis->SetTickPositions(vtkDoubleArray *) along with the tick labels.
