For example, "%-d" formats the day with no padding, "%_d" formats the day with
space-padding equivalent to "%e", and "%0d" formats the day with zero-padding
equivalent to "%d".
Note: the previous commit broke some tests relating to locale date
parsing, due to expecting "%m/%d/%y". On my system, the "en_US" locale
uses "%m/%d/%Y" by default. I've updated the tests to use %Y.
The process.env.TZ trick no longer seems to work. The fix automatically
adds an offset to the minutes being set, relative to the current
timezone. It assumes that the dates being tested in the scope are not in
DST, since the offset is relative to the timezone offset at the epoch.
This commit provides a standard interface for time intervals:
interval.floor(date)
interval.ceil(date)
interval.offset(date, k)
interval.range(start, stop, step)
All local-time intervals (such as d3.time.day) have a UTC-equivalent interval,
available as interval.utc (such as d3.time.day.utc).
Fixes#463. Note that for the time.scale, an interval function is required to
nice (such as d3.time.day). In the future, we might relax that to allow a count
of ticks, similar to the ticks method, but in that case we'd also need the
ability to floor to a given tick number (e.g., every other week) and likewise
for ceil. This seems like a reasonable first implementation.
Rather than producing separate files for each module, the default build now
produces a single file. This should encourage better page-load performance as
the files were relatively small. Also, it's easier to deal with only one file
rather than many, especially if you're not quite sure what the dependencies are.
You may still create minimized builds, if you don't want every feature.
This commit also demotes the chart components to the examples directory, rather
than keeping them as part of the core library. As always, D3 is not a charting
library, and these were ever only intended to serve as examples.
Fixes#428. This is built on top of existing tick support for linear scales: for
small intervals, a linear scale computes ticks based on milliseconds; for large
intervals, a linear scale computes ticks based on fractional years. This commit
also extends the time scale's formatter to display milliseconds.
The d3.time.format.iso is designed to be compatible with the default JSON
serialization of dates, which includes milliseconds. So, d3.time.format now
supports the %L directive for formatting and parsing milliseconds. This commit
also changes d3.time.format.iso to use native ISO date methods, if available.
