Time axis, including date and hours/minutes/seconds

[lazarusA]

Currently if we do, only a date format with year/month/day is shown, which then when zoom-ing is less useful, because we cannot see the hours a those scales. Any workaround ?

using AlgebraOfGraphics, Dates
dates = DateTime("2007-01-01T00:00:00"):Hour(1):DateTime("2010-01-01T00:00:00") |> collect
ts1 = cumsum(randn(length(dates)))
ts2 = cumsum(randn(length(dates)))
df = (; dates, ts1, ts2)
plt = data(df) *
    mapping(:dates, [:ts1, :ts2] .=> "value", color=dims(1) => renamer(["time1", "time2"]) => "series ") * visual(Lines)
draw(plt)

[jkrumbiegel]

Currently, a static set of time ticks is written once

AlgebraOfGraphics.jl/src/scales.jl

Lines 588 to 591 in 8d6cc00

	function ticks(limits::NTuple{2, TimeType})
	datetimes = optimal_datetime_range(limits)
	return datetime2float.(datetimes), format_datetimes(datetimes)
	end

This could be changed to a tick type that does the same thing dynamically.

thanks! Vanilla Makie seem to work as in:

fig, ax, plt = lines(clean_dates, df_date[idxs, :Reco],
    # axis = (; xtickformat = x -> Dates.format(Dates.unix2datetime(x), "yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS")) # also, no need for this.
)
fig
