*
* set up PPLUS to properly label the axis tics and titles

* programmer - steve hankin
* NOAA/PMEL, Seattle, WA - Tropical Modeling and Analysis Program

* revision 0.0 - 6/23/87
* revision 1.0 - 2/25/88 - added grid to call; allowed non-geographic axes
* revision 2.0 - 4/12/88 - added time axis set-ups and decimal place calcs.
*			   and units on axis labels (via AX_TITLE)
*			   x/y axis labels through PUT_LABEL call
* revision 2.1 -  5/7/88 - increased format sizes
* revision 2.2 -  9/8/88 - added position relative flags to PUT_LABEL call
* revision 2.3 - 9/21/88 - suppress year on time axis for climatological sets
*			 - added control over time axis tics (TXLINT)
*			 - fixed PPLUS (TAXIS3) bug permitting "day"-style
*			   time axes (TXTYPE) - return "tstyle"
* revision 2.31 - 1/9/89 - doc chg: climatological axis in TAXIS_STYLE
* V200:  10/13/89 - corrected FORMAT 3010 to allow dt_min=1/60
* 	   1/4/90 - modified PUT_LABEL call
* Unix/RISC port - 4/91 *sh*: RISC f77 can't handle CHAR fcn in WRITE list
* V313: *sh* AIX port.  Replace "FOR ()" with "FOR,()" so AIX space-squeezing
*		filter doesn't corrupt this routine
* V400: 6/23/95 - *sh* use risc_buff instead of ppl_buff when calling PUT_LABEL
*		because PUT_LABEL uses ppl_buff internally 
* V420: 11/27/95 - 4-digit PLOT+ YEARS!!  also, new arg its_calendar
*	11/28/95 - changes to TAXIS_STYLE call for Y-oriented calendar axes
* 12/96 *kob* - Linux Port - had to move variable assignments off of
*               declaration line.
* V450: 3/97 - support for curvilinear coordinate plots
*		added args curvilinear and cx_curv
* V500: 6/99 *sh* - save time axis infor to be used by PLOT/VS overlays
* V510 *sh* 3/00 - added no_labels argument so /NOLABELS avoided xlab & ylab
* V533 *sh* 7/01 - avoid using risc_buff -- conflict with PUT_LABEL
* V580 *acm* 12/04 Fix bug 1129; formatting axis for small lon/lat ranges
* V602 *acm*  3/07 Fix bug 1498: do not computes n_res but leave it hard-wired
*                to 15; else the axis labels may not match data values
* V62+ *acm* 6/09 Allow use_nice for more lon/lat axes; allows for long 
*                 strings in the degree-minute-seconds labeling
* V64+ *acm*12/09 Fix bugs (crash!)for plots with very small ranges in lon and lat
*                 See the benchmark test err64_very_small_latlon.jnl, based on a 
*                 report by Jean Newman.
*       *acm* 3/12 6D Ferret: Add E and F dimensions 
*                  A time axis may be a T axis or F axis, so idim is 
*                  now an arg to TSTEP_TO_SECS, TSTEP_TO_DATE
* V694  *acm* 1/15 Changes to allow two time axes on plot (F-T)
* V695+ *sh*  3/15 Added argument "imposed_lab" to disambiguate F and T axes
* V695  *acm* 9/15 Do not plot the labell TIME - on vertical axes with HH:MM
*		   labeling; it interferes with the time/date labels
* V7    *acm* 6/16 Ticket 2434: command qualifiers /DEGMINSEC= /HALFSPAC
*                  DEGMINSEC=1 for Deg-Min axis labels, =2 for Deg-Min-Sec. Default = 1
*                  /HALFSPAC adds a half space between the degree sign and E/W or N/S
* V71 12/16 *acm* For ticket 2158: working with true monthly time axes.
