Description
My time series consists of an array of [moment](http://momentjs.com/) objects which have an explicit UTC offset value. This offset is *not* generally the same as the user's local time zone. Is there any way to preserve the UTC offset when plotting with react-timeseries-charts? The only options that I can see in the documentation are to show times as local or as UTC.
Thanks in advance.
## Background information
I am working on an application to display GPS logger traces for glider pilots (a rewrite of [IGCWebView](https://github.com/glidingweb/igcwebview) using React). I would like to plot a graph of altitude against time, and it makes sense to use the time zone of the country where the flight took place. For example, I am in the UK (local time = UTC) but would like to see the time displayed as UTC + 10 when looking at logger traces from Australia. The `moment.format()` method takes care of this automatically.
