<div><span></span>thanks, according to the link and your code, i made the following plot</div><div><br></div><div><div> resxt= True<br> resxt@ttmFormat = "%c"<br> ;resxt@ttmMajorStride = 3<br> resxt@ttmNumTicks = 10<br> time_axis_labels(newtime, res, resxt) </div></div><div><br></div><div>but i cannot find the attribute about font size with prefix "ttm", if i set <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5; background-color: window;">ttmNumTicks more than 10 or others , the x-axis appearance will be overlaid each other.</span></div><div><br></div><div>thanks</div><div><div>
