An example autoscaling time axis

This examples shows how to create a timeline axis which autoscales to contain all the available data.

The horizontal axis of this plot is set to display as a timeline by setting the dataType setting on the axis_x1 axis of the JSPlot_Graph instance to timestamp. In this mode, the numerical values along the axis are interpreted as Unix timestamps, and displayed as times and/or dates, depending on the range of the axis.

In this example, the function y=x is plotted, and the numerical value is displayed as a straightforward number along the horizontal axis, but rendered as a date along the vertical axis.

You can click and drag the graph horizontally to change the horizontal axis range, or use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out.
