Description
Produces a graph of temporal scalar data.
Notes
The default stylesheet handles upto 10 data sets, if you use more you must
create your own stylesheet and add the additional settings for the extra
data sets. You will know if you go over 10 data sets as they will have no
style and be in black.
Unlike the other types of charts, data sets must contain x,y pairs:
[ "12:30", 2 ] # A data set with 1 point: ("12:30",2)
[ "01:00",2, "14:20",6] # A data set with 2 points: ("01:00",2) and
("14:20",6)
Note that multiple data sets within the same chart can differ in length,
and that the data in the datasets needn’t be in order; they will be
ordered by the plot along the X-axis.
The dates must be parseable by ParseDate, but otherwise can be any order of
magnitude (seconds within the hour, or years)
