### Ordinal dates

Ordinal dates are simply the number of days since the beginning of the year. They thus run from 1-365 (366 in leap years) through the year.
This sub-pane is not available in Format 8.
This sub-pane is handled in exactly the same way as similar sub-panes. The only point to note is that the ordinal date is in addition to the normal date and so care needs to be taken in its positioning in order to avoid overlaps. Don’t forget to check with the longest ordinal date on display i.e. three digits, as in December.
An example screen-shot with 3-digit ordinal dates showing is given below.
