[ncl-talk] Fewer questions about a Histogram Plot

Hello:

I found the coding lines that allows me to map the number of intervals,
explicitly.  I found the coding lines that allow me to specify how many of
the labels I want to map.

That's here:

https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/Scripts/histo_3.ncl

 res at tmXBLabelStride                = 2     ; every other x-label
  res at gsnHistogramDiscreteBinValues  = ispan(0,25,1)

However, I don't see how to change the number of labels to be different
from their default number, which equals the number of tmXBValues.

I need to set the latter so that I can add more than 9 labels.

Thank you


(0) res at tmXBLabels = -9

(1) res at tmXBLabels = 0

(2) res at tmXBLabels = 9

(3) res at tmXBLabels = 18

(4) res at tmXBLabels = 27

(5) res at tmXBLabels = 36

(6) res at tmXBLabels = 45

(7) res at tmXBLabels = 54

(8) res at tmXBLabels = 63

(0) tmXBValues = 0.0555556

(1) tmXBValues = 0.166667

(2) tmXBValues = 0.277778

(3) tmXBValues = 0.388889

(4) tmXBValues = 0.5

(5) tmXBValues = 0.611111

(6) tmXBValues = 0.722222

(7) tmXBValues = 0.833333

(8) tmXBValues = 0.944444
