![XYZ].Tickname
Corresponding Plot Keyword: [XYZ]Tickname The annotation for each tick. A string array of up to 30 elements. Setting elements of this array allows direct specification of the tick label. If this element contains a null string, the default value, PV-WAVE annotates the tick with its numeric value. Setting the element to a one-blank string suppresses the tick annotation.
Example
To produce a plot with an abscissa labeled with the days of the week:
; Set up x-axis tick labels.
!X.Tickname = ['SUN', 'MON', 'TUE', 'WED', 'THU', 'FRI', 'SAT']
; Use six tick intervals, requiring seven tick labels.
!X.Ticks = 6
; Create a plot.
PLOT, [1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7]
The same plot can be produced, using keyword parameters, with:
; Set fields, as above, only temporarily.
PLOT, [1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7], XTickname = ['SUN', 'MON', $
'TUE', 'WED', 'THU', 'FRI', 'SAT'], XTicks=6
See Chapter 8, Working with Date/Time Data, in the PV‑WAVE User’s Guide for information on creating axes with date and time data.
