Plot with X-Axis ticks as string [message #92622]

Hello everyone!

I'd like to plot monthly values of a parameter. The months go from Arpil to November. How can I implement ticks at the x-axis which are simple strings, e.g. 'Apr', 'May' .....

So I plotted something and I tried to add a fitted x-axis to the plot as follows:

myplot_c1 = PLOT(parameters, NAME='Cluster',COLOR='red',XTEXT_COLOR='white', YSTYLE=2, XSTYLE=3, YTITLE='Parameter',MIN_VALUE=-1, MAX_VALUE=1, XTICKINTERVAL=1,YRANGE=[0.15,0.5])

xax = AXIS('X',LOCATION=[0,0.15],TICKVALUES=['Mar','Apr','May','Ju n','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct'], MINOR=1, MAJOR=-1, TICKLEN=0.015,TICKFONT_SIZE=11,TICKINTERVAL=1)

Somehow the monthly ticks just won't appear.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Kai
