ENH: On the y-axis of a line chart need to display times as 10:00 AM and 12:15 PM instead of numbers 1 to 24

On the y-axis of a line chart need to display times as 10:00 AM and 12:15 PM etc instead of numbers between 1 to 24. Using numbers between 1 and 24 puts times like 11:55 PM and 12:03 AM on opposite ends of the y-axis scale. The chart needs to display the times in the order that time appears on a clock.
The critical issue here is not �AM� or �PM�. The critical issue is the ability to offset the Y axis so that 1 minute before Midnight is not at the top of the graph and 2 minutes after midnight at the bottom of the graph. Hours 1 to 24 are fine if the graph can be offset so Midnight is in the middle of the graph (i.e. starts at 12 at the bottom 24 in the middle and 11 at the top).
