Re: [ferret_users] time axis of over 9999 yr

You could just simplify with something like
 
define axis/t=0:15000:10/units=years/edges tdecadal

Objet: [ferret_users] time axis of over 9999 yr
 
Hi—
 
Defining this time axis works for plotting 1000 decadal averages (from a
netCDF file with badly defined time axis):
 
define axis/t="1-jul-0000":"1-jul-9999":1/units="years"/npoints=1000/cal=noleap/edges tdecadal
 
But I need a time axis that spans over more than 9999 yr:
 
define axis/t="1-jul-0000":"1-jul-15000":1/units="years"/npoints=1500/cal=noleap/edges tdecadal
**ERROR: command syntax: 1-jul-15000 is not valid in this calendar
 
The noleap and (extended) gregorian calendars appear to be limited to
have four digits for the years.  Is there a calendar that can do up to
six digits, or a way to define it?
