Re: glitch in time axis.

[Wei Cheng <cheng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

It turned out the problem was not due to that I was using an old version
of ferret, but rather, the peculiar time axis in the data: a model output
in which every year is permanently 365 days with jan having 31 days, feb 
having 28 days etc. This a r t i f i c i a l calendar screwed things up.
Steve pointed to me what I need to do is :

          yes? CANCEL MODE CALENDAR

You may keep this in mind when you are dealing with things other than real
time data.
