Price scatter date xaxis

Any particular opinion on this? @jralls I think the uneven date axis is a feature rather than a bug...

I don't think the chart is particularly useful, there are better ways to get stock price charts. It's anyway misnamed, it's a plain line chart, not a scatterplot. That's a good thing, a price scatterplot wouldn't be very useful either.

I'm all for getting rid of the different intervals, they don't even change the displayed data, just the numbers along the X axis, and those numbers are themselves pretty useless.
However using the dates of the prices to set the vertical lines makes for a strange-looking plot and it's going to get congested for plots with either a long period or showing frequent quotes. I think it would be better to break the period up into some consistent number of intervals and put date labels on each interval.

Why? Nothing has changed.
