in page odm, for the date labels, gf01=gf02=gf03=gf04, and gf2=gf05

other problems:
in page od, the gf1 looks like (day on first row, and yyyymm on 2nd row)

in page odw, the gf3 allows "two row date labels", however, only one row

my suggestions: for axis, there is tick marks and minor tick, is it possible for users to control the first row and second row of the date label, such as

Code: Select all

gf1.axis duallevel
gf1.datelabel format(mm-dd, yyyy)


where for gf1, the first row label will be month and day, and the second row will be year in YYYY,

The example has not been updated. The example should read

Code: Select all

graph1.datelabel format(yy[q]mm)


In regards to 'other problems:"
Unfortunately you cannot set the format on a line by line basis. We will look into adding this feature for future versions.
