UI: graphs to better show weeks in last N days graph

[masterkeedu]

Since piwik is an analytical tool. I thought it would be balls to show the weekdays in historical charts.

For example the 'last_visits_graph' or nb_uniq_visitors show counts and the date as a great line chart.

It would be neat to segment off every 7 days. Thick borders, or perhaps color shading on/off.

This would be very useful to quickly realize that what days of the week seem to be patterns.

OFC2 could allow us to add a vertical line to dilineate weeks, but there's no built-in capability to spec its width or color shade.

See also period comparison feature request in ticket #291.

Maybe a day-of-the-week variation of Visitors | Times ?

I think correct implementation could be: show a vertical line in the graph at the beginning of each week, rather than currently having a line every 5 days. increasing priority as it seems quite easy to do this.

we can't really do it properly with the library we use, as you can't choose an offset for the vertical lines, to force them to show on all mondays for example. instead we show the vertical bar every 7 days which helps with this.
