## 1.52.70 timezone

    set timezone <timezone>

The `set timezone` command sets the name of the default timezone that Pyxplot uses when handling date objects. It should take the form of a `tz database` timezone name, for example `Europe/London`. A complete list of these can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones. If no timezone is specified, then the default set using the `set timezone` command is used. If universal time is required, `UTC` may be specified as the timezone. For example:

    set timezone Europe/Paris
    set timezone Australia/Perth
    set timezone America/New_York
    set timezone Antarctica/South_Pole
    set timezone UTC

Note that it is not permitted to set a timezone such as `GMT`, `EDT` or `CEST`; a place should be specified, and Pyxplot will use the local time from that location.
