I have a simple plot like this:

```julia
using Plots 
plot(sind.(1:360))

```

It looks good by default, but when I use the pan and zoom tools to explore the plot, the x and y tick labels don’t automatically update with the changing axis limits. Is there a way to turn on dynamic tick labels?

See solution [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/automatic-adjustment-of-ticks-when-zooming-with-plots-jl/5055/4). For instance, using the `pyplot()` backend:

```julia
using Plots; pyplot()
plot(sind.(1:360), ticks=:native)

```

This also works for the other interactive backends: `plotly()`, `plotlyjs()` or `inspectdr()`

Thanks @rafael.guerra! The tick labels are now dynamic with:

```julia
plotlyjs()
plot(sind.(1:360), ticks=:native)

```

Thanks for the help!
