        Parameters
        ----------
        data_low, data_high : float
            The actual minimum and maximum of index values of the entire
            dataset.
        bounds_low, bounds_high : "auto", "fit", float
            The range for which ticks should be generated.
        interval : "auto", float
            If the value is a positive number, it specifies the length
            of the tick interval; a negative integer specifies the
            number of tick intervals; 'auto' specifies that the number and
            length of the tick intervals are automatically calculated, based
            on the range of the axis.
        use_endpoints : Boolean
            If True, the lower and upper bounds of the data are used as the
            lower and upper end points of the axis. If False, the end points
            might not fall exactly on the bounds.
        scale : 'linear' or 'log'
            The type of scale the ticks are for.

        Returns
        -------
        tick_list : array of floats
            Where ticks are to be placed.


        Example
        -------
        If the range of x-values in a line plot span from -15.0 to +15.0, but
        the plot is currently displaying only the region from 3.1 to 6.83, and
        the user wants the interval to be automatically computed to be some
        nice value, then call get_ticks() thusly::

            get_ticks(-15.0, 15.0, 3.1, 6.83, "auto")

        A reasonable return value in this case would be::
