xtick and xticklabels

[tbeason]

For a Linear plot, I've been trying to find a way to change the ticklabels using PGFPlots. So far, I haven't been successful. It would be cool if these options could be added in.

I see in the docs there is something about a customOptions keyword, but it doesn't look like there is any such thing implemented.

How about:

Axis(Plots.Linear([1,2,3], [4,5,6]), style="xtick={1.5,2.7}, xticklabels={hi, there}")

Ah ok that works. It is a bit dirty though. Would be helpful I suppose to mention in the docs. Does that trick work for all pgfplots options that aren't explicitly given PGFPlots keywords?

Yes, style for Plots elements, GroupPlot, and Axis all allow you to pass in a string in the traditional tikz fashion. There is also a Plots.Command for more control over entries.

There was a push to construct a more rigid, tikz-data-structured version of PGFPlots. See #69
