[ncl-talk] Plot time axis in yyyymmddhh

[Mary Haley]

Partha,

The problem is that you are using values like this on the X axis:

(155) 2014092809
(156) 2014092812
(157) 2014092815
(158) 2014092818
(159) 2014092821
(160) 2014092900
(161) 2014092903
(162) 2014092906

This is going to cause erratic spacing on the X axis. Try using
yyyymmddhh_to_yyfrac to convert to year fractions, and then plot against
that array instead of time:

   time_frac = yyyymmddhh_to_yyyyfrac(time,0)
. . .
      res at tmXBValues = time_frac(::8) ; Label every 8th one

. . .
      plot = gsn_csm_xy (wks,time_frac,p1,res)
