Hi,
Can anyone help me know why i am getting only 10 tick marks in a year instead of 12 (one for each month) in my plot. I get the position of year right.

I am trying to plot a time series of 39 months starting 1 Jan 2008 ending 1 Mar 2011.
I am using

tstart = JULDAY(1,1,2008,0,0,0)
tend = JULDAY(3,1,2011,0,0,0)
mytime = TIMEGEN(START=tstart, FINAL=tend, UNITS='months')

I then give
p1=ERRORPLOT(mytime, mm, geom,yrange=[-0.1,0.2],XTICKINTERVAL=1,xstyle=1,COLOR = 'red',thick=2.3,xtitle='Years',XTICKFORMAT='(C(CYI4))' ,ytitle='XTSR - XSI (K)',title='11 Micron [XTSR - XSI] K', ERRORBAR_COLOR='red',NAME='XTSR-XSI bias after offset',overplot=0)

However I get 10 tick marks between years instead of the normal 12.
Thanks in advance.
