formatDate(date/timestamp [, formatString] [, culture])

Formats date/timestamp according to the given formatString(optional) & culture(optional). Default formatString is “DD MMM YYYY” & default culture is “en”.

• This is a static function under CanvasJS namespace and hence it can be used directly without instantiating a chart. Hence you can also use it outside the chart too for formatting date.
• Can be very useful inside Custom Formatter Functions

//Using CanvasJS.formatDate.
var  chart =  new  CanvasJS.Chart("container",
{
	title:{
		text: "Sales data for " + CanvasJS.formatDate(new Date(2012, 06, 13)) //gets formatted as 13 Jul 2012
	},
. 
.
});
chart.render();
