Hi Thomas,
You will find below a small example illustrating how to add labels
on an axis.
The TAxis class foresees alphanumeric labels instead of numeric
labels in its data structure. This functionality is not yet used
by higher level classes such as TGraph or TH1.

gROOT->Reset();
c1 = new TCanvas("c1","gerrors2",200,10,700,500);
c1->SetFillColor(42);
c1->SetGridy();
// create a 2-d histogram to define the range
TH2F *hr =
new TH2F("hr","Special labels on the axis",2,-0.4,1.2,2,0,12);
hr->GetYaxis()->SetLabelOffset(1);
hr->GetYaxis()->SetNdivisions(10);
hr->SetXTitle("X title");
hr->Draw();
c1->GetFrame()->SetFillColor(21);
c1->GetFrame()->SetBorderSize(12);

}
