It seems that Gadly cannot handle Time on the x-axis (from Dates) as shown below. Would there be a package that could plug that hole? Or do I have to use Period instead as suggested by the error message? Or am I missing something entirely?

```julia
julia> x = [Time(9,m) for m in 0:5:55]                                                                                                                                                                                                     
12-element Vector{Time}:

julia> y = [i^2 for i in 1:12]
