To Show non-Gregorian Calendars #196
Description
Hello all,
Use Case: I need to show some charts in client calendar system (e.g. Jalali)
The Problem: digging the docs, i can't figure out how to do that,
Possible Solutions: i know this is possible in some other charting libraries (e.g. Hicharts via a plugin which uses JDate itself, or for others that use Moment.js internally, there is a moment-jalaali plugin)
Workaround: even the input data and internal calculations can be normally in current Calendar system, but before rendering, it can be a formatter function/hook (dateformat) that do the actual conversion.
I wonder if there is a solution/workaround for the awesome Plotly.
any help would be highly appreciated.

To answer your question, the best workaround for this would be to convert your dates into numbers and show custom

thank you @etpinard,
could it be a dateformat or like in future releases?
can you label this issue as a feature request?

If we end doing it, it won't be be part of this project. Adding a dependency on moment.js would blow up our already-big bundle size.

@etpinard your workaround worked! thank you
about feature implementation, simpler alternatives could be taken.
e.g. tickformat could be allowed to take a function, inside that, user can do anything
