Hi Tim,
only using month is difficult. You could use datetime objects (e.g.
2016-01-01, 2016-02-01, ...); however I don't know any way to display
the month label on the axis. I can offer a workaround which you've
already discovered. You could count up months (1, 2, ...) and provide an
additional data set containing the respective labels (Jan, Feb, ...)
which can then be displayed along the axis using an "empty" bar graph.
Attached please find a quick-and-dirty example. I'm curious if there is
a nicer way to do this.
Regards
Simon
