Time series plotting about plotly.rs HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @mindv0rtex,

If you convert your datetimes to strings and use these instead you will get a time-series plot. I know this is not entirely intuitive but this is how the underlying library works (i.e. plotly.js). I have planned adding support for chrono in a future release so that you can just pass a vector of dates and get what you expect.

from plotly.rs.

Is there any specific format that plotly.js needs to recognize datetime objects? My data is defined with the granularity of milliseconds. Should I use the 'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS.ssssss' format?

Also, is there a way to control the resulting tick format for dates?

Thank you!

For posterity, chrono::datetime::DateTime::to_rfc3339() will do the conversion in a way that Plotly can interpret.

Tick formatting is available via Axis::tick_format, with the JS reference docs here.
