date axis labels ugly and different functionality than ggplot (R) #258

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but default behavior for date axis labels is unacceptable to me, and is not handled the same way as in the R ggplot2. Please see the comparison. screen shot 2019-02-02 at 8 04 22 pm screen shot 2019-02-02 at 8 05 32 pm

I think this is easily remedied with + plotnine.scale_x_datetime(date_breaks="1 year", date_labels="%Y",name="date")
