It’s certainly great that GMT.lj is proven able to easily put together two standard datasets with a known format that’s been around for many years (if not decades).

How about some relatively primitive date/time axis ticks placing and label formatting? Something I’m failing at rather miserably [here](http://forum.generic-mapping-tools.org/t/time-axis-manual-ticks-every-14-days-labeled-as-b-d-labels-aligned-with-the-tick/6381)?
