I think pgfplots is missing the option to get trigonometric axis ticks and labels automatically. Doing this manually is a bit painful, see: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34939/axis-with-trigonometric-labels-in-pgfplots

From the point of view of the user it would be nice to have a key which turns trigonometric axis on and off, say xtrig for the xaxis, ytrig for the y axis and trig for both.

If the key is given without value, pgfplots should try to get automatically a good axis scaling with trigonometric axis.

If a number n is given as value of the key, pgfplots should be forced make labels on the basis n.

The last point would be similar to solutions which already exist in pstricks (see ch. 9.14 in the pst-plot manual) and in tkz (see e.g. ch. 6.2.5. in the tkz-base manual).

Would be great to see this in the next release.

Is there any progress for this issue?
