See https://github.com/openskope/SKOPE/issues/23 for the problem description.

Hopefully there is an overwrite for the hovered label. Otherwise the values for the x-axis needs to be replaced by year integers, instead of the dates used right now.

https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/#layout-xaxis-hoverformat explains layout.xaxis.hoverformat could be used to customize how the hover label is composed. For dates, the formatting syntax is here https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/blob/master/README.md#locale_format.

Only hoverformat is using the resolution specific format and tickformat should not. Otherwise when zoomed in, "Jan 2000", "Feb 2000" would all be formatted as "2000", resulting multiple "2000"s appearing on the x-axis.
