How to Use X-Axis Dates about django-nvd3 HOT 4 OPEN

Here is a solution.

You need to pass a value that the JavaScript Date object can use.
See
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

I chose

value
Integer value representing the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC, with leap seconds ignored (Unix Epoch; but consider that most Unix time stamp functions count in seconds).

As it seems the most reliable.

Now you need to prepare your data. A quick example would be:

import datetime, calendar

date = datetime.datetime.now()

# need to convert the datetime object to seconds from Unix Epoch
date = calendar.timegm(date.timetuple)

# then convert to milliesonds

date = date * 1000

This helped me solve a problem that I've been sitting on for hours. Lifesaver, thank you @aaronvanderlip

Same issue. The documentation could benefit from using "fixed" dummy data, instead of random generated data.
