LocalDate and LocalDateTime Axis types

[thomasnield]

Hey Gerrit,

There doesn't seem to be any good LocalDate and LocalDateTime axis types. Would this be something that's in scope for this library?

I'm coming across this need a lot as I play with your charts and JavaFX charts in general.

Added first support for time based data to Axis. The main idea is to have a new TYDataObject which extends the XYDataObject and has an additional field for LocalDateTime. The Axis now also supports this kind of DataObject and has a dynamic format. Meaning to say if you increase the window width for example the horizontal scale should adjust according to the available space and range. You can find a demo in the TimeAxisTest.java file. Not sure if this approach will be the final solution but at least it works kind of :)
Feel free to play around with it and let me know what you think...

That makes perfect sense, I'll play with it.

By the way, Edvin created a tornadofx-charts repository, which will have the TornadoFX DSLS's around this library. I'll put the initial commit in later.

I haven't forgotten this. I will follow up and re engage

I have a project I need this for now. Lemme see if I can streamline this a little with a nice wrapper....
