Tick labels and dates [message #41840]

I have never been good with figuring how how all the date formatting
stuff works. I want to label the X axis on a few of my plots with some
readable date strings. In certain cases, I'd like to display something
of the form "HH:MI:SS". Other times I'd like to see a day of month or a
day of year or some other variation.

Anyway, assuming that I have a timestamp in the form of seconds since
the 1970 epoch, is there some built in way to convert to the time string
my choosing? Or will I have to role my own conversions? Secondly, how
do I go about cleanly setting the labels on my IDLgrAxis to the strings?

TIA,
Mike
