# Number of points over which to compute moving average(e.g., for monthly

# An optional first year for the tick marks on the x axis. Leave commented out
# to start at the beginning of the time series.

# An optional number of years between tick marks on the x axis.  Leave
# commented out to determine the distance between ticks automatically.
