Question:



  • How can I replace the current numeric dates with weekdays names like Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun.?

  • Is there an option available so pgfplots can calculate the corresponding names of the days of the week for each numeric date automatically by itself?

I want to avoid setting xtick labels = Mon., Tue., Wed., ... manually by hand for each tick.

Looks like you can use the macros provided by the pgfcalendar package to convert year-month-day to Julian days (pgfcalendardatetojulian), then to day of week (pgfcalendarjuliantoweekday) and then print the corresponding weekday (pgfcalendarweekdayshortname), all directly in xticklabel:



xticklabel = pgfcalendardatetojulianyear-month-daytmpCntpgfcalendarjuliantoweekdaytmpCnttmpCntpgfcalendarweekdaynametmpCnt,


newcnttmpCnt is required first.



I suggest also adding xtick distance=1 so you get just one tick per day.
