Thanks for the reply.

Before doing any manipulation I wanted to check if I can avoid it. I would like non-intelligent behavior as of MS Excel where I can just treat the x-axis as text axis and can write any thing on it.

My code is roughly as below. The values in the keys are date that I pick up from some other scripts. 

use strict;
use Chart::Clicker;
use Chart::Clicker::Data::Series;
use Chart::Clicker::Data::DataSet;

my $cc = Chart::Clicker->new;
my $series = Chart::Clicker::Data::Series->new(
    values    => [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    keys      => [
         20161201, 20161201, 20161202, 20161203,20161204
    ],
);
my $ctx = $cc->get_context('default');
$ctx->domain_axis->format('%s');
my $ds = Chart::Clicker::Data::DataSet->new(series => [ $series ]);
$cc->add_to_datasets($ds);
$cc->write_output('foo.png');

I get the key values in the format of yyyymmdd from other script that I don't maintain.

The key values can be date or it can be git commits hash which can be strings like a4dsfe. If I put these then the script gives me error.

I even tried by replacing $ctx->domain_axis->format('%s'); in the above code with 

$ctx->domain_axis(Chart::Clicker::Axis->new(position => 'bottom', orie
+ntation  => 'horizontal',format => '%s'));

Attribute (keys) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'ArrayRefNum' with value ARRAY(0x6c992f8) at cons tructor Chart::Clicker::Data::Series::new (defined at C:/Perl64/site/lib/Chart/Clicker/Data/Series.pm line 112) line 13. Chart::Clicker::Data::Series::new('Chart::Clicker::Data::Series', 'values', 'ARRAY(0x6d4b820)', 'keys', 'ARRAY(0x6c992f8)') called at

Another question on Chart::Clicker::Axis::DateTime is it needs time in which format? For example if I've values in yyyymmdd format, How do I convert to format that is acceptable?
