Time axis omits ticks if data is missing

[andig]

When forcing the time axis with min..max, it only draws ticks and gridlines where data exists. This may be the desired behaviour but should be configurable.

@andig can you post a fiddle that shows the current behavior and an image of what you expect as result?

[andig]

Here's an example:

Will taka some time to do a fiddle. I'm missing the date ticks between 5...13.

Here https://jsfiddle.net/andig2/xp1Lxk2g/2/ is the fiddle- you'll need to give the chart a bit space so it shows days on the x axis, then the issue becomes transparent.

[simonbrunel]

That might have been fixed for 2.7.0, can you try with this build?

[andig]

Seems fixed on quick test, great stuff!

[andig]

@simonbrunel The generation of missing ticks/ grid lines is indeed fixed. However, 2.7. moves the axis min/max ranges on its own. In my case with time series it adds one month before and after which I don't want. Is this a bug or are there some new settings to control this behaviour?

[simonbrunel]

Do you have an example, with input data/labels?

[andig]

@simonbrunel

See this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/andig2/6raazty4/ It should show 1. July 2016 - 1. August 2017. WIth 2.7 it gives Mai ... September. The axis is just used for displaying start/end.

You'll have to update the fiddle to use 2.7, I could only run it locally as the link you've given uses the wrong certificate (or you could share a gh link to the dist version of master)?

I see that, the min/max calculation seems indeed hazardous. I have been able to get a valid range with the following settings, but don't know why:

time: {
    min: '2017/07/01',
    max: '2017/08/01',
    unit: 'month',
    round: true
}

Ok- so we can close this issue as fixed and I'll open a new one for the axis min/max. I need user to be able to zoom into any desired timespan and expect min/max to be honored.

Good to know, thanks!
