Resource: timezone
| Resource | timezone |
|---|---|
| Overview | Sets timezone used in date labels |
| Command Line | -tz=zone_name |
| Environment Variable | wxptz |
| Possible Values | |
| Default Value | UTC |
By default, WXP displays all times in universal time (UTC). The programs use "Z" for the time zone label for simplicity. The syntax to change the timezone is tz:label:offset. For example:
-tz=EST:-5
would plot the time in Eastern Standard Time. The "EST" is only for the label. The critical part is the time offset "-5" which is the number of hours from UTC. The result would be a string like "835 EST 14 OCT 13"
To get time to display as AM/PM, add a plus "+" to the beginning of the label "+EST". The result would be "4:00 PM EST 23 OCT 13".
