<h3>This example shows how to create a Chart with a Time Axis.</h3>
<p>When plotting data across a range of dates, it's sometimes preferred to use `TimeAxis` instead of a `CategoryAxis`. While a `CategoryAxis` plots ticks on an
axis for each data point on a graph, a `TimeAxis` plots ticks evenly across a time range. A `TimeAxis` can be applied to a Chart by setting its `categoryType`
attribute to "time".</p>
