Thread Subject: XTickLabel

Hello all,

i am working on a plot with 9 subplots.
I have 7 data points and i am replacing the XTickLabels
(day of the year) by day/month (dd/mm format).
the problem is that a couple of measurements were done
very close in time and their labels overlap.
I tried to adjust the size of the font, but i have to use
6 or smaller if i do not want the labels to overlap. this
text size is too small.

any suggestions?

PS: is it possible to write the tick labels in 2 rows so
that i can alternate the text betwen the upper and the
lower rows.

Hi,

 You might want to replace your Tick Labels with Text
objects. These give you more control over the formatting,
size and style.
