Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN
This macro illustrates the use of the time mode on the axis with different time intervals and time formats.

Through all this script, the time is expressed in UTC. some information about this format (and others like GPS) may be found at http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/systime.html or http://www.topology.org/sci/time.html

The start time is : almost NOW (the time at which the script is executed) actually, the nearest preceding hour beginning. The time is in general expressed in UTC time with the C time() function This will obviously most of the time not be the time displayed on your watch since it is universal time. See the C time functions for converting this time into more useful structures.

// %M minute (00-59)
// %S seconds (00-61)
