Re: setting time axis

Hi Marjolaine,

I wanted to test your script before I made this suggestion. Using
"trXAxisType" was the right idea, but I think what you really want is:

   res_at_gsnXAxisIrregular2Linear = True

This causes some more complicated code to happen internally
that linearizes the X axis.

Let me know if this is not what you're looking for.
