Retrieving labels of tick marks [message #89355]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to retrieve the string array of the tick labels that IDL generates for a plot? As far as I know, one may retrieve the tick values with tick_get.

What I want to do is to modify the output of label_date. For the day number, LABEL_DATE outputs only the day of month, but sometimes I prefer to have the day of year (e.g. 184/2014 instead of 01-Jul-2014). My idea is to retrieve the output of LABEL_DATE and replace the month/day-of-month with DOY, using one of the JHUAPL routines.

Do you suggest a different method otherwise?

Thanks.
