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
