Description
From danvdk on August 21, 2012 03:47:44
If your data is per-minute, it never makes sense to show ticks at a higher granularity (say every thirty seconds) since that could mislead the chart's reader into thinking that the data is finer than it is.
Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/dygraphs/issues/detail?id=368

Research direction
Start by tracing dygraphs' time-axis tick generation and how it determines the data's granularity. Reproduce the per-minute case described in the issue, then verify that generated ticks never imply finer precision than the input data; the issue does not name a file or test to begin with.
