Nonlinear time axis for removing large gaps (nights/weekends)

[clisztian]

Greetings all,
I've been working lately on a new nonlinear time axis (inspired by the slow/fast time axis), that will essentially remove large gaps such as evenings and weekends from the time domain as no points will be plotted there.

This is for nonuniform financial data where simple integer or category axis could not be used, and the data is at the miilisecond latency.

Suppose data over one month is to be plotted, featuring points only on weekday business hours. As I understand it, a piecewise affine transformation needs to be built along with a forwardTransform and backwardTransform for the displayPosition and valueForDisplay functions. Would it be possible just to have a LocalDateTime representation of the time observation, and if it is "night", ignore, and otherwise plot as normal? Or am I missing something?
