Hello,
Having tried the time option "t", I came to conclusion that either I'm
clueless as to how to apply it, or this part of the class is broken. For
example specifying;
TGaxis *axis = new TGaxis(1996, 10, 2000, 10, 1997, 1999, 3,"t");
axis->SetTimeFormat("%Y")
which I understand it to mean "range from 1996 to 2000, with three tick
marks at 1997, 1998 and 1999, year with century format", I get three ticks
OK, albeit all with the same "1995" label. It gets more twisted with more
complex specifications, which leads me to ask what time format does the
class accept, and how to specify that I'd like to have multi year range with
major ticks on each full year (with a year label), and minor ticks (possibly
with just a numeric month label, i.e no year) on each month?
And even before I hear the right answer, could I suggest that;
1) one of the possibilities to specify range be the time format returned by
time()/mktime() (a nice, convinient integer value that the class could
interpret to satisfy any of the SetTimeFormat specifications for labels),
and/or
2) that the interpretation of the range input to the class be dependent on
the SetTimeFormat() specification.
The second one seems especially a tall order, but I thought I'd have my
New Year wish early.
Happy New Millenium to all,

P.S. Once I'm at it, could I suggest an addition of a "-" (dash)
marker to the TMarker class, with, maybe, the posibility to specify
left/right positioning vs. a line on, next to, which it would be placed?
