jqPlot DateAxis tickInterval not working

Question

I\'m trying to draw a chart with a single datapoint each month. I\'m sending this through to jqPlot as a single point on the first of each month:

$.jqplot(\'

You should specify a timestamp on your plot data. As noted on jqplot example of Date Axes:

Note, although jqPlot will parse most any human readable date, it is safest to use javascript time stamps when possible. Also, it is best to specify a date and time and not just a date alone. This is due to inconsistent browser handling of local time vs. UTC with bare dates.

You can check it here: http://www.jqplot.com/deploy/dist/examples/date-axes.html

I'm mentioning it because i've stumbled upon this problem 2 days ago. I solved it by passing a timestamp and defining a greater tickInterval than '1 day'.
