Question:
Why is it so hard for me to figure out how to work with dates on the X axis? While reading the docs, it's unclear why different plots have different methods for handling the X axis as dates. I don't understand why, despite converting datetime, placing dates on the axis with a custom format can't be done as a one-liner. Why ScottPlott does not understand that it is being passed a datetime values as X axis?
I want to plot bars like at https://scottplot.net/cookbook/5.0/Bar/
But X axis should be dates, for ex:
var dates = Generate.Consecutive(100, DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1).Date, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
Yet I can't find a way to pass dates as X axis to the bars hmmm (there's no overload method for this).
ScottPlot Version:
5.0.54 WinForms
Code Sample:
var dates = Generate.Consecutive(100, DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1).Date, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));
var bars = Generate.RandomNumbers(dates.Count(), -100, 100);
var barPlot = FormsPlot1.Plot.Add.Bars(dates, bars);
