date format in d3, would like to have month as an integer instead of decimal

Question

I would like to have format as 6/19 instead of 06/19 for my X axis. It does not seem to provide a way of doing so on its official documentation: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Time-Formatting

Any clues? Thanks?

See the part about padding:

The % sign indicating a directive may be immediately followed by a padding modifier:

• 0 - zero-padding
• _ - space-padding
• - - disable padding

For example, "%-m/%-d" will disable padding for both the month and date, giving you "6/1" for June 1st, as opposed to "%m/%d" which gives "06/01".
