Flot not respecting 12 hour time formatting

Question

I'm using Flot for graphing and I'm having trouble getting it to report 12 hour time, instead of 24 hour time.

I'm using this code (which works fine otherwise)

$(function () {
    $.plot($("#placeholder"),
[ { data: 0 } ],
{ xaxes: [ { mode: 'time', 
             twelveHourClock: true,
             timeformat: "%H:%M%p"} ],
  yaxes: [  ] })
});

Any idea why it's not respecting the %p, which should force 12hour AND the twelveHourClock is set to true ...

Thanks in advance!

You need to use %I (12 hour format) instead of %H (24 hour format). If you do this then there is also no need to set "twelveHourClock" to true. Also, %p is just for adding the 'am/pm'.

From the docs:

If you set "twelveHourClock" to true, the autogenerated timestamps will use 12 hour AM/PM timestamps instead of 24 hour. This only applies if you have not set "timeformat". Use the "%I" and "%p" or "%P" options if you want to build your own format string with 12-hour times.
