@BeginExample
To set the time axis to 1987-01-16 12:00 with an increment of one
month for each time step use:
@BeginVerbatim
   cdo settaxis,1987-01-16,12:00,1mon ifile ofile
@EndVerbatim
Result of '{\tt cdo showdate ofile}' for a dataset with 12 time steps:
@BeginVerbatim
   1987-01-16 1987-02-16 1987-03-16 1987-04-16 1987-05-16 1987-06-16 \
   1987-07-16 1987-08-16 1987-09-16 1987-10-16 1987-11-16 1987-12-16
@EndVerbatim
To shift this time axis by -15 days use:
@BeginVerbatim
   cdo shifttime,-15days ifile ofile
@EndVerbatim
Result of '{\tt cdo showdate ofile}':
@BeginVerbatim
   1987-01-01 1987-02-01 1987-03-01 1987-04-01 1987-05-01 1987-06-01 \
