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
