I'm not sure I agree on this one. It is the user responsibility to know
what is the time frame he/she is displaying. It seems to me it could
bring some undesirable side-effects. The default behaviour should choose
the best format. Perhaps is it possible to send to the user, via a
method call, the best format length ("sec" or "months" or whatever)
depending on the axis limits. Then the user may choose an appropriate
(and private) format.

These calculations are already done. Is it interesting to have access to
their result ?
