Epoch to date/time conversion not available in bargraph #141

There is no way to use a bargraph as a time series graph. Even if specified "dateHistogram":true, in the config file, the x-axis values still remain in epoch, and get sorted by the Y-Axis value rather than the X-axis value(as a time series should be)

@bmukheja @natabal We don't have this feature for the bar graph, and we normally use a line graph for such type of graphs. Do we really need this feature for the bar graphs?

bharat-mukheja commented 5 years ago

Why not? Why should we limit ourselves to only one type of graph for a time-series?

natabal commented 5 years ago

@bmukheja We don't support as of now time series for bar graph! Why do you need to use the bar graph as a time series?

bharat-mukheja commented 5 years ago

@natabal The linegraph is suitable for showing time series with a minor change between time intervals, but in case where the difference is quite high, line graph is pretty limited in understanding and that's why bar graph should be used for such purposes.
