DateTimeAxis shows invalid dates when dataSource has no elements (empty list)

[Abhijit-Revamp]

Bug description

I have a ColumnSeries with primaryXAxis as DateTimeAxis
The intervalType is set to DateTimeIntervalType.days (however this has no impact)

Screen shots atached
If the "dataSource" has one or more value, the Axis labels are perfect.
As soon as the dataSource has empty list, the label jumps to "Feb 10 to May 31"

Steps to reproduce

1. Empty the list that is supplied to DataSource

Code sample

Code sample

SfCartesianChart(
  primaryXAxis: const DateTimeAxis(
      title: AxisTitle(text: 'Date'),
      intervalType: DateTimeIntervalType.days,
   ),

Correct one:

With just 1 element in data - still good

Invalid dates with empty data set:

Hi @Abhijit-Revamp,

We would like to let you know that the DateTimeAxis labels are calculated based on the provided data, ensuring that the axis displays relevant information. The appearance of the labels depends on the interval and intervalType set in the DateTimeAxis. However, if the dataSource is empty, the axis will display a default date range starting from 1970, such as labels from 'Feb 10 to May 31'. This is expected behavior.

If the dataSource is empty and you would like to display a predefined range, we recommend using the minimum and maximum properties in axis. Please refer the following code snippet.

SfCartesianChart(
  primaryXAxis: const DateTimeAxis(
      minimum: data.isEmpty ? DateTime(2024, 1, 1) : null;
      maximum: data.isEmpty ? DateTime(2024, 6, 31) : null;
   ),
),
