I have found the following code, but when I enter it i get a parse error: syntax error. __gnuplot_set xdata time __gnuplot_set timefmt "%d/%m" __gnuplot_set format x "%b %d"I think Octave no longer allows to directly access gnuplot, so these commands won't work. I don't know if there is some simple way to have dates as tick labels, but you can always set tick labels manually, like this: data = [2 3 5 3.5 6]; datalabels = {'10/3/2008','10/4/2008','10/5/2008','10/6/2008','10/7/2008'}; % cell array plot(data) set(gca(),'xticklabels',datalabels)If you install the financial package, you can use the dateaxis command which likely does what you're wanting to do. Have a good day,
How does dateaxis differ from the dateticks function? Taking a quick look at the matlab help pages, I can see that much of a difference in them. Perhaps we should migrate dateaxis to Octave as the dateticks command and make dateaxis depend on dateticks?
