Adaptive date ticks

I never even knew I needed this function until I saw it. This function basically makes your date ticks scale to the appropriate time scale, be it years, quarters or months. Very nice for that portfolio watching MATLAB GUI that I never seem to have the time to build. ZoomAdaptiveDateTicks.m

    This should prove useful. It’s always nice to find out about previously unknown features. There is one small issue that is easily fixed:

    The ‘demo’ feature uses the ‘today’ function which, apparently, only ships with the Financial toolbox. If you replace the line
    dates = today – linspace(1169,0,15000)’;
    with
    dates = floor(now) – linspace(1169,0,15000)’;

    it will work without the ‘today’ function.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
