Description pinus 2013-08-28 19:25:10 UTC

When creating e.g. a bar chart it is not possible to use timestamps. A timestamp contains a date and a time.

It is allowed to use a date column for the x-axis and a value for the y-axis. What happens is that the x-axis is stretched depending on the date value. If your data series is missing a value for e.g. a day there is a hole in the graph. This works as expected.

What's missing is the option to add a time to the date. If you want to show the values of one day, with values in the morning and in the evening, this is not possible. You can converte the date to a string but the output is different because of the missing space between the values around noon.

Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on:
Version 4.1.1.2 
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well.

Marking as:

New (confirmed)
Normal - can prevent high quality work
Medium - default, seems appropriate
