Jim,
This was the solution I was hoping to avoid having to implement... but
thank you it does what I was looking for visually (except for the
las=1 rotation). Is there no other parameter *within* axis that I
could adjust? If not, it seems like axis could be rewritten to have
the axis tick label positions move in concert with the shortening tick
marks...
