Thanks for the link, Jarle. That's been bugging me for awhile, but I've never snooped around enough to figure it out.
Nick, beware that the PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT::Window docs for the axis option make it seem like 'X' is the base flag for getting this type of labeling, and "Y" and "Z" are permutations. However, the link Jarle sent spells it out more clearly: use "Z" flag to force the time labeling, and ADD Y and/or X to get the effect you want. cheers, Derek Jarle Brinchmann wrote: > When you call the plot you want to provide an axis description > suitable for this.
