OFC-2 - Dates in Scatter Chart Tooltips
This patch implements Date Formatting of unix timestamps in Tooltips for Scatter and Scatter Line Charts. When using unix timestamps as X Values there are two new date formatting Magic Values available. The #date# magic value uses a fixed format while #date:____# allows for user specified formatting. The date formatting is consistent with that performed by the PHP date function.
The #date# magic value generates a date string in the format "Y-m-d" which looks like 2008-12-06
The #date:____# allows the user to included any desired formatting commands in place of the "____". Here are a couple of examples:
#date:Y-m-d at H:i# would generate something like this: 2008-12-06 at 14:27
#date:g:i:s a# would generate something like this: 2:27:11 pm
