mth is a space-delimited string. Plot or pd will break/box the string on spaces
and remove the quotes to give 6 labels. The first and the last are empty.
Eg.
load 'plot'
mth=. '"" "Feb-2004" "May-2004" "Aug-2004" "Nov-2004" ""'
('xlabel ',mth) plot ?. 6#12
dte=. '"06-30" "06-31" "07-01" "07-02" "07-03"'
('xlabel ',dte) plot ?. 4#12
Does that help?
