Thanks Ely, that makes sense now. I'll give it a try. Luckily, both series are using the same dataProvider, so I'll have access to the data property and probably be able to eliminate the second axis completely. Thanks for the tips and the source to your interactive calendar component <http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/interactive-calendar/> . Great Stuff!
