[reportlab-users] Time Series Charts - date stamps interpreted as integers

[Robin Becker]

Hi Kostadin,

There is something called a NormalDateXValueAxis axis which we have often used 
for day valued axes.

It tries fairly hard to get equal sized intervals, but as you know that may be 
hard if you have other constraints like end of month days only etc etc. There 
are a lot of options to try and get the ticking right.


There is a sample here
