Missing a clear error/deprecation message when using time axes without the plugin #709

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This discussion is the first in what will probably be several related to users 
not understanding that time support is now a separate plugin:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/flot-graphs/30pIGjKCDVI/discussion

We should catch this case and throw a friendly exception stating something like 
"Axis mode 'time' requires a plug-in that doesn't appear to be present".

Hello,

We did a first pass, it's here: Is this the right way to throw this exception 
or is there a better approach?

Thank you.

Confirmed in the master branch; this makes the missing plugin much easier for 
developers to identify.  Thanks!
