The WebGL scatter plots should support multiline date axis tick labels #1079
Description
Dates in general need more space than numbers, and the truncation of dates is less clear-cut than that of numbers; also, breaking up numbers to multiple lines is very rarely desirable in practice.
SVG charts can already show dates in a multiline format, whereas the WebGL scatterplot cannot yet (see image below).
The original issue comment is associated with a PR (and a bunch of gl-vis PRs) that brought in the functionality of showing dates on WebGL scatterplots.
@etpinard conveyed the request that this issue be addressed.
