Hi! Does anyone have insight -- we'd like to change the x-axis of our tsvb graph to use another field. It's a strictly increasing integer associated with our documents.

This is possible with the other visualization types but I haven't been able to figure it out for tsvb.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.  
Best, Justin

TSVB does not support this because it only allows date fields on the X axis.

That's too bad. It'd be nice to use the more flexible UI of tsvb to achieve this. Is this something I can create a feature request for?
