That
scaleType='point'
is not documented.It's a bit complex because normally it does not make sens to plot a line chart on categories. With categories you're supposed to use bar chart because their is not an obvious order relation between categories.
But i's usefull if for example you want to display yearly result without bothering with
Date
objects.
