If you know the number of points along the x-axis in advance, one way would be to specify the number of x-axis intervals with the "coord" keyword and then make the week numbers tick labels. For example if you have 52 points on the x-axis: coord x 0,52 ticks bot out at 1 "8801",2 "8802" ... or whatever interval you want between ticks. I know this is messy, but nothing else comes to mind. -- Ken Keirnan - Pacific Bell - {att,bellcore,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!pbhyf!kjk San Ramon, California kjk@pbhyf.PacBell.COM
