Hi, I just came accross a problem in the display of time dependent data. It appears that the time offset on the various axis is expressed in local time (function localtime()). When one sends time dependent data to colleagues overseas, the time considered by the axis will be their localtime, not the one at the source, hence shifted by a few hours. In any case, it seems to me that one should use the gmtime() function to strictly use and display UTC time. Of course, this means a shift by a few hours in the data, but this time will be the same all around the world. Perhaps should we introduce a SetTimeOffsetUTC() ? In that case, the string representing the time offset (after the %F for the experts...) should probably note it with a "UTC" somewhere. Any comments ?
