See the image below. The tick mark says 5am, but it is clearly 5:45 there. Am I doing something wrong?

To debug set `props.timeaxis.tick.label.format : HH:mm:ss`.

I added a null value datapoint at the first index, which would shift my trend to the right.  
This made my ticks align with what i needed:

in my case, i had to set tickCount to 23.5, because i shifted my trend half an hour.
