parameter results in no labels. If labels are desired,
parameter specifies number of tic marks between labels.
Negative parameter will result in only labels being
lettered without axis or tic marks being drawn. Labels will
be lettered on an axis only if non-zero tic parameter is
specified.
All labels are lettered according to current character size
(csiz) statement and in current number format (fixed or float
statement).
