[Matplotlib-users] controlling ticks

[Thomas Caswell]

Lifted from a comment Bruno Beltran made on gitter:
https://gitter.im/matplotlib/matplotlib?at=5f888b74631a250ab26f179b

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.ticker

t = np.logspace(0, 4, 10)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot()
ax.loglog(t, t**3)

enough_ticks = matplotlib.ticker.LogLocator(numticks=15)
ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(enough_ticks)
```

works, but you have to know how many ticks you want up front.

There are enough knobs on both LogFormatter and LogLocator that this seems
like something that should be configurable, but I don't know how off the
top of my head (and a very quick look at the source did not have an obvious
path).
