My ROOT application uses a number of graphs of time series for which the logical axis labels are alphanumeric representations of dates and times. A roottalk digest entry of 16 April, 1998 demonstrates a simple way to produce such labels more or less manually using raw text objects. The same message also alludes to the infrastructure in place to generalize the use of alphanumeric axis labels, which I gather from the source refers to TAxis::fXlabels, TAxis::SetBinLabel(), etc. Is this infrastructure currently usable for this purpose? (A recent download of the posted source suggests not.) I could, of course, attempt to augment the demonstrated text method to automate tasks such as placement, scale, text size, etc., but this effectively reimplements much of the current axis label work without extending the code significantly. Is there some more general contribution in this area a ROOT novice might reasonably tackle? thanks, Damon Hart hart@idt.net
