I have a date ordered set of lunar libration points for the coming lunar month, list "lunarlibrationpoints" - a subset of list "lunarlibrationdatepoints" - which is plotted with:
ListPlot[lunarlibrationpoints,
AxesLabel -> {subEarthLongitude, subEarthLatitude}, Joined -> True ]
Q1. - How do I label the points on the foregoing plot with label tags like a date or text (e.g. "01-21-2010", "New", "1st Qtr", "Full", "3rd Qtr")
The list "lunarlibrationdatepoints" can be imported with:
lunarlibrationdatepoints = Import["Librationdatepoints.csv", "Data"]
- where the csv file contains date string dates and x-y points in the form:
01/15/2010 00:00, 1.88531, -0.05868
- which imports the date as a string.
Q2. How do a transform the date string elements in an array into a new array with the date-times recognized in date format?
Thanks in advance, Kurt
