Not numerical min and max values

[geraldo]

Great plugin! I really would like it to apply to date ranges, putting min and max-values like that:

yMin: '2016-06-01'
yMax: '2016-07-01'

Have you tried yMin: new Date('2016-06-01')?

If that doesn't work, you can use a linear scale instead of a date scale, and use a custom tick formatter to format UNIX timestamps as date strings. Then you could do this:

yMin: new Date('2016-06-01').getTime()

I had the same issue with a barchart with a non numeric scale. My tweak was in the LineAnnotation configure function

if (scale) { pixel = helpers.isValid(options.value) ? scale.getPixelForValue(options.value) : NaN; endPixel = helpers.isValid(options.endValue) ? scale.getPixelForValue(options.endValue) : pixel; }

->

if (scale) { pixel = scale.getPixelForValue(options.value); endPixel = scale.getPixelForValue(options.endValue || options.value); }

I didn't try your suggestion to use a custom tick formatter as I didn't think of it.
