May be a number or a date in any one of the recognized date formats - ISO8601 (which is any prefix of looks like "yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS") or RFC822, which is the "Mon, 4 Jan 2002 14:23:24 GMT+1" format used in emails.

      <shapepath>
        <moveto x="20" y="20"/>
        <lineto x="80" y="80"/>
      </shapepath>
    </shape>

Draw a line graph

    <linegraph width="100" height="100" xaxis-formatter="date()">
      <datacurve name="total sales">
        <sample x="2002-10-15" y="103"/>
        <sample x="2002-10-16" y="93"/>
        <sample x="2002-10-17" y="27"/>
      </datacurve>
    </linegraph>
