Within the last week we've gotten two requests for improved
date and time labels along spatial axes.

Now, if a display includes a

  ScalarMap(RealType.Time, Display.*Axis)

where * is X, Y or Z, and

  GraphicsModeControl.setScaleEnable(true)

then the axis will be labeled using VisAD's
DateTime.toString().

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bill
