provide more control over the format of time labels on the axis

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

In some cases it would be useful to have more control over the time labels. 
There is currently a way to set the format string, but I cannot specify a 
different format for significant boundaries like day, month, or year 
transitions. Also, it has a lot of other parameters which make it difficult to 
use. I attached some example images showing the intent.

Another example from d3 library docs:

This patch has a quick version:

Very nice patch. Can you provide some junit tests with it ?

I have merged it in a new branch, TimeLabelFormat. I need javadoc and unit 
tests to merge it in main trunk.
