Summary: non trading days in TradingDateTimeAxis

Initial Comment:
TradingDateTimeAxis is actually removing only saturdays and sundays. I'd like non trading days (apart form weekends) to be removed as I get trend lines errors.

I found another bug in the last correction posted here: the ticks labels
were being created even for no tradding days.
This little problem was corrected, just change the method "OnTradingDays"
code of the class "TradingDateTimeAxis", for this:

public bool OnTradingDays(double coord)
		{
			long ticks = (long)coord;
			long whole_days = ticks / TimeSpan.TicksPerDay;
			long days_in_last_week = whole_days % 7;
            bool retorno=true;
            if (!(days_in_last_week < 5))
            {
                retorno = false;
            }
            else
            {
                DateTime aux = new DateTime(ticks);
                foreach (DateTime dt in exceptionalNonTradingDays)
                {
                    if (aux == dt)
                    {
                        retorno = false;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }
            return retorno;
		}

Hi,

I've just modified TradingTimeAxis in order to allow non trading days to
be removed from the axis...

best,
Davide.
