[ncl-talk] set title name as Date

[Kunal Bali]

Dear NCL users,

I have a file with monthly data (24-time steps).
2016-01-01 00:00:00
2016-02-01 00:00:00
2016-03-01 00:00:00
2016-04-01 00:00:00

2017-11-01 00:00:00
2017-12-01 00:00:00

I am creating 24 separate figures on the basis of the given time (no
problem in that).

Now, I want to set the title (tiMainString) name of each figure according
to their Date e.g.
figure 01 with plot title as 2016-01
figure 02 with plot title as 2016-02
figure 24 with plot title as 2017-12

here, I am providing the brief script that I am using which giving the
title name only year names such as (2016, 2016, 2016, 2017, 2017,2017 etc)

I am trying as

undef ("getDate")

>    day        = sprinti("%0.2i",tointeger(utc_date(:,2)))
>    hours      = sprinti("%0.2i",tointeger(utc_date(:,3)))
>    mins       = sprinti("%0.2i",tointeger(utc_date(:,4)))
>    str_date   = year+"-"+mon+"-"+day+" "+hours+":"+mins
>
