The docs mention that this should be between 1 and 10 but I'm not sure that is the ideal steps for nc-time-axis.

Holy 💩 ... I've just joined the dots here!

During the marathon that was SciTools/iris#3019, I raised the issue SciTools/iris#3019 to capture the oddity of a documentation example graphical test that is raising a UserWarning from within mpl...

<snip>/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/ticker.py:1853: UserWarning: Steps argument should be a sequence of numbers
increasing from 1 to 10, inclusive. Behavior with
values outside this range is undefined, and will
raise a ValueError in future versions of mpl.

After digging a little, it turns out that the plot in question
aefec91c3601249cc9b3336dc4c8cdb31a64c6d997b3c0eccb5932d285e42f33
uses nc-time-axis to plot time on the xaxis... and the weird step values that are being passed into the matplotlib.ticker.MaxNLocator that cause it to raise the UserWarning are [1, 2, 4, 7, 14] no less!

Awesome! So nc-time-axis is indeed the root cause.

I'll play with the steps to see the impact on plots...

It took me a while to figure that out just to find out that @QuLogic already solved this last year 😄

With the change in the steps, and taking advantage of the classic style, the only test that fails is this one. I adapted the expected values to reflect the change but I'm not sure this is the ideal way to fix this. The README example gets 4 ticks instead of 3 with these changes but the figure looks good to me.
