Maybe, make sure the tick interval is 10^n or 5*10^n for some n>=0
to follow the non-integer_ticks_only behaviour.

Well, the patch did not apply with 'patch', so I had to apply it manually.
Unfortunately there is a bug:
The larger tick value is smaller than the max, or it is drawn outside
the chart.
Just try:
---------------------
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use Chart::LinesPoints;
@data=([2000..2200], [0..569]);
$obj=Chart::LinesPoints->new (600,400);
$obj->set ('max_y_ticks' => 20);
$obj->set ('min_y_ticks' => 2);
$obj->set ('integer_ticks_only' => 1);
$obj->png ("foo.png",[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
---------------------
Thanks for your effort,
Bill.
