Please, please address all the issues with the `vtkCubeAxesActor`! This class simply isn’t cutting it if trying to make publication-quality plots. See:

- [Label format broken and displays incorrect values](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/set-vtkcubeaxesactor-label-format-and-remove-exponent/457/2)
- [Fontsize control broken](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/setfontsize-on-vtkcubeaxesactor-bug/520)
- [Scaling issues](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/scaling-a-rendering-scene/173)
- [Padding issues](https://github.com/vtkiorg/vtki/issues/123)
- No way to set the number of labels/ticks

This has become issue enough that I’m thinking of creating an entirely new pure-Python implementation of an axes labeler: [https://github.com/vtkiorg/vtki/issues/147](https://github.com/vtkiorg/vtki/issues/147)
