I agree.

I have sometimes used
   charsize(1e-3);
in order to remove the numbers, and only afterwards manually put those I 
want to have...

Well, for another manually-plotting project, I've done something like

define highlevel_hplot(bin_lo, bin_hi, value)
{
   variable n = length(value);  % = length(bin_lo) and = length(bin_hi) 
as well
   variable X = Double_Type[2*n];
   variable Y = Double_Type[2*n];
   X[ [0::2] ] = bin_lo;
   X[ [1::2] ] = bin_hi;
   Y[ [0::2] ] = value;
   Y[ [1::2] ] = value;
   lowlevel_plot(X, Y);
}

You might want to add some separate fancy treatment of the first and 
last bin, but this can easily be done as well, e.g. with:

   X = Double_Type[2*n + 2];
   Y = Double_Type[2*n + 2];
   (X[0], Y[0]) =  (bin_lo[0], 0);
   X[ [1:2*n-1:2] ] = bin_lo;
   X[ [2:2*n:2] ] = bin_hi;
   (X[-1], Y[-1]) = (bin_hi[-1], 0);


Cheers,

Manfred
