 If I understand you right, you want to make a plot where the X (or Y)
axis would be, say, a date like 11/04/06 11:40. That is possible
although currently a bit cumbersome with the way Tioga deals with tick
labels. You need to convert date/time data into floats and prepare
yourself tick labels (and tick position) with
yaxis_locations_for_major_ticks
and
yaxis_tick_labels (see the function special_y in samples/plots/plots.rb).

  However, we were recently discussing a more powerful way to make ticks
label that would make it nearly painless (next release).

  Hope you'll find Tioga suitable, cheers !
