+     * Class: $.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer
+     * A plugin for a jqPlot to render an axis as a series of date values.
+     * This renderer has no options beyond those supplied by the <Axis> class.
+     * It supplies it's own tick formatter, so the tickOptions.formatter option
+     * should not be overridden.
+     * 
+     * Thanks to Ken Synder for his enhanced Date instance methods which are
+     * included with this code <http://kendsnyder.com/sandbox/date/>.
+     * 
+     * To use this renderer, include the plugin in your source
+     * > <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="plugins/jqplot.dateAxisRenderer.js"></script>
+     * 
+     * and supply the appropriate options to your plot
+     * 
+     * > {axes:{xaxis:{renderer:$.jqplot.DateAxisRenderer}}}
+     * 
+     * Dates can be passed into the axis in almost any recognizable value and 
+     * will be parsed.  They will be rendered on the axis in the format
+     * specified by tickOptions.formatString.  e.g. tickOptions.formatString = '%Y-%m-%d'.
+     * 
+     * Accecptable format codes
