This example shows how to create a Chart with a Time Axis.
When plotting data across a range of dates, it's sometimes preferred to use TimeAxis instead of a CategoryAxis. While a CategoryAxis plots ticks on an
axis for each data point on a graph, a TimeAxis plots ticks evenly across a time range. A TimeAxis can be applied to a Chart by setting its categoryType
attribute to "time".
var myDataValues = [ {date:"1/1/2010", miscellaneous:2000, expenses:3700, revenue:2200}, {date:"2/1/2010", miscellaneous:50, expenses:9100, revenue:100}, {date:"3/1/2010", miscellaneous:400, expenses:1100, revenue:1500}, {date:"4/1/2010", miscellaneous:200, expenses:1900, revenue:2800}, {date:"5/1/2010", miscellaneous:500, expenses:7000, revenue:2650}, {date:"6/1/2010", miscellaneous:3000, expenses:4700, revenue:1200}, {date:"7/1/2010", miscellaneous:6550, expenses:6500, revenue:1100}, {date:"8/1/2010", miscellaneous:4005, expenses:2600, revenue:3500}, {date:"9/1/2010", miscellaneous:1200, expenses:8900, revenue:3800}, {date:"10/1/2010", miscellaneous:2000, expenses:1000, revenue:3650}, {date:"11/1/2010", miscellaneous:2000, expenses:3700, revenue:2200}, {date:"12/1/2010", miscellaneous:5000, expenses:3100, revenue:4100} ]; var mychart = new Y.Chart({ dataProvider:myDataValues, render:"#mychart", categoryKey:"date", categoryType:"time" });
