I had the same question, and I wanted to use different units for different plots. So an overall change does not work.
If I understand the original question right, that user wants to use different units for the day plot and the week/month/year plot, respectively. So there is the same problem: an overall change does not do. [email protected] schrieb am Donnerstag, 29.
