Date-time based category axis
Category axis of Cartesian chart component can accept Date objects instead of strings. The chart will parse these dates and place data points at irregular intervals (if your data has gaps). The above chart illustrates this: the supplied data doesn't have entries on weekends. The chart shows gaps instead of placing the columns next to each other. Empty data points were not added to the data, the chart handles this automatically. As date object can contain exact date and time up to milliseconds, the chart can display yearly, monthly, daily, hourly data, it can also contain minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
Another great feature of date-based category axis is that it displays axis labels in a very friendly way. Differently from regular category axis, which displays every X label, date-based category axis uses intelligent algorithm which places labels at the beginning of the year, month, week or day; every 6 or 12 hours, 30 or 15 minutes; etc.
