Re: Error using time_axis_labels

Hi Juki Juki,
 not appearance of tick marks could be due to more than one reasons. Do you
have sufficient space between the axis and the left most margin of the plot
area? You can also try using ttmValues to tick at the locations you want
exactly. For example:

  resTick = True
  resTick@ttmFormat = "%d %c"
  resTick@ttmAxis = "YL"
  resTick@ttmValues = (/(/2008,01,01,00,00,00/), ; please make sure you
change these dates according to your axis
                                           (/2008,01,02,00,00,00/),
                                           (/2008,01,03,00,00,00/)
                                         /)

  time_axis_labels(data&time, res, resTick )
...

About your 2nd question, please see how to format tick marks, in ncl
resources documentation. You might use tmXBFormat here.

regards,
