Hi, I had similar problems - I could not put the label in the middle
of the interval. I decided in the end to use LABEL_DATE function,
where I put some spaces in front of code for the month (%M). The
problem is, that IDL ignores all empty spaces if there is no other
charcter in front of it. So I made a compromise and put a point in the
beginning. If you look your graph long enough you will of course see
these points, but others will probably not notice it. :)

Cheers, Klemen

dat_form = LABEL_DATE(DATE_FORMAT='. %M %D') ;note
the point and spaces in front of %M

ka = PLOT([0], XRANGE = [xmin,xmax], YRANGE = [ymin,ymax], $
YTITLE='$\it$RP $\rm$[MW]', $ XTITLE='Date', $
SYM_SIZE = 0., FONT_SIZE= 8, FONT_NAME ='Arial', $
XTICKINTERVAL=1, XMINOR=3, XTICKLEN=0.03, YTICKLEN=0.03, $
XTICKUNITS='Day', XTICKFORMAT='LABEL_DATE', XTICKLAYOUT=0)
