[ncl-talk] custom string labels in time-axis

[Tabish Ansari]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the reply.

The issue here is that I have 10 lines (arrays of length 120 hours) within
a single xy plot
and these arrays don't correspond in time - they have different starting
and ending dates.
Nevertheless, for the purpose of my analysis, I want to show them stacked
over each other
since they're of the same length.

So I need *exactly* these major tickmark labels: "Day1, Day2, Day3, Day4,
Day5" at the 1st, 25th, 49th, 73rd and 97th hours
on the x-axis.


Cheers,

Tabish
