A common type of graph in my work is to see the value (from 0 to  
something) represented on the x axis, and instead of the y  
representing a value, it represents time. The closer the Y value gets  
to the x-axis, the closer it is to the current time, and the further  
away the further back in time. When i pass plot_dates timestamps for  
the y axis, and integers for the x axis it simply displays the y-axis  
as floats.
