Xtics time_data
</H3>
In case of timeseries data, axis tic position values must be given as quoted
dates or times according to the format <B>timefmt</B>. If the 4#4start5#5, 4#4incr5#5, 4#4end5#5
form is used, 4#4start5#5 and 4#4end5#5 must be given according to <B>timefmt</B>, but
4#4incr5#5 must be in seconds. Times will be written out according to the format
given on <B>set format</B>, however.
<P>
Examples:
<BR>
<PRE>
set xdata time
set timefmt "%d/%m"
set xtics format "%b %d"
set xrange ["01/12":"06/12"]
set xtics "01/12", 172800, "05/12"
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
<BR>
<PRE>
set xdata time
set timefmt "%d/%m"
set xtics format "%b %d"
set xrange ["01/12":"06/12"]
set xtics ("01/12", "" "03/12", "05/12")
</PRE>
<BR>
Both of these will produce tics <TT>"</TT>Dec 1<TT>"</TT>, <TT>"</TT>Dec 3<TT>"</TT>, and <TT>"</TT>Dec 5<TT>"</TT>, but in the
second example the tic at <TT>"</TT>Dec 3<TT>"</TT> will be unlabelled.
