This PR introduces a new property named
skipPeriodChangestoDateAxis; aListthat accepts elements of typeTimeUnit. When detecting a period-change, these units will be skipped in favor of a larger unit.Say we have data with
datevalues as granular as a "second" and we are interested in having period changes formatted on "hour" so we show date changes in a different format. UsingdateAxis.periodChangeDateFormats.setKey("hour", "[bold]MMM d");would produce an x-axis with:... - 22:00 - 23:00 -Jan 20- 01:00 - 02:00 - ...Zooming in on the data enough to get the graph to show minutes would produce an x-axis with:
... - 23:00 - 23:30 - 00:00 - 00:30 - 01:00 - ...Setting
dateAxis.periodChangeDateFormats.setKey("minute", "[bold]MMM d");would make the x-axis be:... -Jan 19- 23:30 -Jan 20- 00:30 -Jan 20- ...which doesn't appear desirable.However, with this change, setting
dateAxis.skipPeriodChanges.setAll(['minute', 'second']);the x-axis would look like:... - 23:00 - 23:30 -Jan 20- 00:30 - 01:00 - ....The way this works is that if a certain unit it asked to be skipped, it simply looks for the next available time-unit for detection and formatting.
