Re: Advice on boxes plot and setting xrange with a time axis

[Daniel F. <boy...@gm...>]

Hello,

Right, thanks for that the range is correct. It is possible to set the  
time labels to be abbreviated month names?

Changing the second set timefmt "%m" doesn't make any difference?

Do I need to play with set xtics to do this?
