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,
