ah ... the labeling depends on the size of the graph and the font
and the amount of time depicted in the graph ... that 2-hour step
is still possible, but it seems to kick in at a different width of
graph ... maybe due to altered fontsize ...

there is an option to set the labeling by hand ... you may want to
use that for tighter control of the output.
