Hi,
I'm trying to implement my old charts from pChart 1.x to pChart 2.1.1 and have problems using a manual scale.
I want to display some data in Minutes:Seconds and want to have only full minutes at the scale. The AXIS_FORMAT_TIME in "i:s" is a great new feature of pChart 2.x but the scaling doesn't work as expected.
Look at the original chart from pChart 1.x: (scale works as expected)

With pChart 2.x the autoScale is not as nice as I want it to:

So I'm using a manual scale. In this case it is computed to {Min: 180, Max: 600}:

To my code: I'm using an extra class for general settings (background etc.). The startImage() only draws the background and sets the defaults.
Code:

... okay, playing a while I found '"Factors" => array(60);' as what I wanted.
Nevertheless, the broken manualScale is a bug, not?
And another request I will add here: What is about drawCubicCurve from pChart 1.x - this spline from pChart 2.x doesn't seem to be very cubic?
Greetings,
Hannes
