Add more x axis ticks and labels to datetime axis...

From stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23915275/how-do-you-add-more-x-axis-ticks-and-labels-to-datetime-axis-using-pythons-boke

The user wants to add more ticks and label in his/her candlestick plot.
We discussed this issue with @bryevdv, adding some points below:

• one solution would be to add a "desired_n_ticks" property to axis.coffee and have it pass that value to to ticker.get_ticks (right now it uses the default of 6, always)
• there is no way to make a hard specification of the number of ticks on the existing tickers, you'd need to make a new ticker that doesn't try to be so smart

👍 this issue is a blocker

Another option that might work more simply with the existing code is to add min_ticks property, but I'd have to look more closely. There are probably cases when there is no set of "nice numbers" with the required minimum size, and then what do you do?
