The X-axis displays the time period; it shows the date accordingly as you zoom in and zoom out.
The Y-axis, the utilization percentage, starts from 0 to 100, with the interval of 20.

Hovering over a data point displays a tool tip with the utilization percentage (time spent pulling
a tape) and the date. The date is in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM format.

At the top of the main graph, a preview-graph is shown to help you visualize which part of the
total graph you are viewing by zooming. The slider will be placed below the preview-graph, which
can be used to zoom the graph yearly, monthly, weekly and daily. The date will change on the
X-axis accordingly. The minimum time period that can be zoomed in is one day. The end of the
slider displays the dates relevant for the period as they are being changed. The sliders will not
cross over.
