Shouldn't autoscale and autotick be combined (axis limits are extended to
the next tick)?
I was thinking about something like (in algorithmic language):
if (axis_mode == "auto")
limits = get_raw_limits(); // compute raw limits based on children
else
limits = get_manual_limits();
tick_step = get_best_tick (limits);
if (axis_mode == "auto")
limits = extend _limits_to_next_tick (limits, tick_step);
ticks = compute_ticks (limits, tick_step);
