Prepare

Please view the Prepare section at Introduction To Axis And Grid Of jqplot Chart.

Required Scripts

You need to add the script that is required by date axis, such as:

<script type="text/javascript"
 src="js/plugins/jqplot.dateAxisRenderer.min.js">
</script>  

If you use the ResourceLoader to load scripts, you need to configure the web.config and set the JQPlotDateAxisRenderer property of ResourceLoader to true, for example:

<appSettings>
 ...

 <add key="je.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer.js"
  value="~/js/plugins/jqplot.dateAxisRenderer.min.js"/>
</appSettings>
  

<je:ResourceLoader ID="resource" runat="server"
 JQPlotDateAxisRenderer="true" />  

More about the ResourceLoader, you can refer to Use ResourceLoader To Automatically Add Script And Style.

Renderer Property

Set the Renderer property of axis to DateAxisRenderer, the axis will show dates:

<je:Plot ID="plot1" runat="server" IsVariable="true">
 <AxesSetting
  XAxisSetting-Renderer="DateAxisRenderer">
 </AxesSetting>
 
 ...
</je:Plot>  

Format

Through the FormatString property to set the date display format, such as:

<je:Plot ID="plot2" runat="server" IsVariable="true">
 <AxesSetting
  XAxisSetting-Renderer="DateAxisRenderer"
  XAxisSetting-TickRendererSetting-FormatString="%R">
 </AxesSetting>
 
 ...
</je:Plot>  

<je:Plot ID="plot3" runat="server" IsVariable="true">
 <AxesSetting>
  <XAxisSetting
   Renderer="DateAxisRenderer"
   TickRendererSetting-FormatString="%y-%#m-%#d%n%#I:%#M:%#S %p"
   Ticks="['2011-1-1 1:25:30','2011-1-1 5:4:3','2011-1-1 10:2','2011-1-1 23:22:00']">
  </XAxisSetting>
 </AxesSetting>

 ...
