Re: inward tics, and fill

[Steve Hankin <hankin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Zuojun,

This solution is a bit "kludgy" -- but you can always overlay a SHADE with
no contents to force a redraw of the axes. Example:

     ppl tics .0,.35,.0,.35,1,1
     fill/i=1:5/j=1:5/hlimits=1:5/vlimits=1:5 i+j
     shade/i=1:5/j=1:5/over/nolab/nokey/lev=(-999) 0*(i+j)
