  28  <H3><A NAME="8_1_12">8.1.12 Specifying text labels for the X-axis</A></H3>
  29  <P> You might want to have specific labels you want to use for the
  30   X-axis when this has been specified as a &quot;text&quot; scale. In the previous
  31   example each Y-point might represent a specific measurement for each of
  32   the first 10 month. We might then want to display the name of the
  33   months as X-scale.</P>
  34  <P> To specify the labels on the scale you make use of the <A href="../ref/Axis.html#_AXIS_SETTICKLABELS">
  35   SetTickLabels()</A> method.</P>
  36  <P> To get a localized version of the name of the month you can use a
  37   nice feature in JpGraph, the global '$gDateLocal' object which is an
  38   instance of the <A href="../ref/DateLocale.html#_C_DATELOCALE">
  39   DateLocale</A></P>
  40  <P> This class has a number of methods to get localized versions of
  41   relevant names for dates, (months and weekdays).</P>
  42  <P> So to specify the X-axis with the short form of the month names we
  43   use the construction<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000">

  59  <P><DIV class="note"><B>Note:</B> It is also perfectly legal to override
  60   the default labels for the Y (and Y2) axis in the same way, however
  61   there is seldom need for that. Please note that the supplied labels
  62   will be applied to each major tick label. If there are insufficient
  63   number of supplied labels the non-existent positions will have empty
  64   labels.</DIV></P>
