[ncl-talk] Is there an example?

[Adam Phillips]

Hi Laura,
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:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/tickmarks.shtml#ex2

You can also try experimenting with the time_axis_labels procedure that can
be used to set up nice looking time labels:

and

Hope that helps!
Adam
