Hello everyone!
I'd like to plot monthly values of a parameter. The months go from Arpil to November. How can I implement ticks at the x-axis which are simple strings, e.g. 'Apr', 'May' .....
So I plotted something and I tried to add a fitted x-axis to the plot as follows:
myplot_c1 = PLOT(parameters, NAME='Cluster',COLOR='red',XTEXT_COLOR='white', YSTYLE=2, XSTYLE=3, YTITLE='Parameter',MIN_VALUE=-1, MAX_VALUE=1, XTICKINTERVAL=1,YRANGE=[0.15,0.5])
xax = AXIS('X',LOCATION=[0,0.15],TICKVALUES=['Mar','Apr','May','Ju n','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct'], MINOR=1, MAJOR=-1, TICKLEN=0.015,TICKFONT_SIZE=11,TICKINTERVAL=1)
Somehow the monthly ticks just won't appear.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Kai

Hello,
Have a look at:
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/LABEL_DATE.html
Also, playing around with user-defined functions for tick labeling might
be useful (although I think the above is what you need). See:
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/graphkeyw.html#graphkeyw_32887 78166_370350
in particular the section titled: "The name of a user-defined function:"
cheers,
paulv

Actually, since you're using function graphics, have a look at the C()
format codes:
http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/format_codes.html#files_283972 0996_2823814
But, again, I think label_date() is what you need.
For example in some of my code I do:
; Set up the date labeling
date_label = LABEL_DATE(DATE_FORMAT='%D %M!C%Y')
and then
tp[i] = PLOT( date_time, timing[*,i], $
TITLE='Host : ' + host + '!C' + $
'CRTM root : ' + crtm_root + '!C' + $
'Sensor Id : ' + sensor_id + '!C' + $
'CRTM version : ' + crtm_version + '!C' + $
'Current Date : ' + SYSTIME(), $
XTITLE='Date', $
YTITLE='Run time (sec.)', $
XTICKFORMAT='LABEL_DATE', $
/XSTYLE, $
...etc...
See the value for XTICKFORMAT?
cheers,
paulv

If your time variable is expressed in Julian days, you can even put a C format string in the TICKFORMAT keyword. For instance, with :
pl = plot(jd, x, ..., XTICKFORMAT='(C(CYI4.4,"/",CMOI2.2,"/",CDI2.2))',...)
you get axis times such as 2016/02/01.

How about reading the User's Guide? You can even get it on the net.
Page 58 of the User's Guide to PV Wave 7.5.
Example 1: Specifying Tick Labels and Values
and also
Example 2: Specifying Tick Lengths
on pp. 59-60.
