Period Axis
Period Axis is a subtype of the value axis that displays date/time values and has the following features:
- Multiple label bands, where each band is divided up into time periods;
- Automatic range calculation based on (whole unit) time periods;
- A user specified time zone.
In the above example, there are three bands. The first band is split into 1 day time periods, the second into 1 month periods, and the third into 1 year periods.
