<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Laura,<br></div>One quick way to do it is to set tmXBMode = "Explicit" and then set the tmXBValues and tmXBLabels. See the coding for the bottom panel of example #2 here:<br><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/tickmarks.shtml#ex2">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/tickmarks.shtml#ex2</a><br><br>You can also try experimenting with the time_axis_labels procedure that can be used to set up nice looking time labels:<br></div><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/User_contributed/time_axis_labels.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/User_contributed/time_axis_labels.shtml</a><br></div>and<br><a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/time_labels.shtml">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/time_labels.shtml</a><br><br></div>Hope that helps!<br></div>Adam<br><div><div><div><div> <br></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 11:26 AM, Laura Fowler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:laura@ucar.edu" target="_blank">laura@ucar.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello:<br>
<br>
I am plotting the diurnal cycle of some precipitation data (see<br>
attached plot). I calculated the precipitation rates as the<br>
differences between hourly data. I would like to plot the data at the<br>
half-hour but have the labels every hour as shown in the figure. Is<br>
there an example somwhere that would show me how to offset the data<br>
points relative to the labels on the X-Axis.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
