Description of the issue:
As you can see, the x-axis has displayed very odd xticks.
How can I force pgfplots to only display even xticks, e.g. nice times like 19:00, 20:00 etc. instead of those unhappy odd random times like 19:12?
I know that I could simply use an approach to only show desired xticks via
xticks = 20:00, 21:00
andxtick label = 20:00, 21:00,
however - this is causing a lot of work in case you have longer time spans containing many values. I guess it is possible to force pgfplots to display only even time numbers by itself anyhow?
