Re: Heigh-time contour plot.

Hi Yi,

In order to change the tickmark labels to explicit things
like "Jan 01", you need to use three resources:

   res_at_tmXBMode = "Explicit"
   res_at_tmXBValues = (/ 0, 1, 2 , 3,.../)
   res_at_tmXBLabels = (/"Jan 01","Jan 10","Jan 20", ,.../)

The tmXBValues resource needs to be set to the X values where you
actually want tickmarks and labels, and the tmXBLabels resource
should be an array of the same length indicating what labels you want
at those tickmarks.

You can see an example at:

(See example 2).
