  I am trying to plot a time series. If I pass the list of corresponding dates for the values. Chart will display all the dates, which is rather a mess. Is there an Excel-like behavior where the chart samples only a few dates on the x-axis for display.
  
  Thanks!

  Hello Fayssal,

  We will add an option to render every n-th label in order to address the more basic scenarios. We also plan to implement a true Date axis for future versions.

  Best wishes,

  It should fine. I have already come up with a workaround for it for now :).

  Hello,

  The Q1 '12 version of the MVC extensions adds support for a label step property. It allows you to render only every n-th label.
  .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
      .Categories(s => s.DateString)
      .Labels(l => l.Step(2))
  )

  
  

  Another alternative to a true DateTime axis would be to use a scatter chart to emulate it by representing the time as milliseconds. See the attached project for an example. Regards,

  you used this code to format the labels: 

  .Labels(l => l.Template("${ formatDate(value) }"))

  is it possible to do something similar for the series tooltip?

  Hi,

  Yes, the syntax is almost the same. As this is an XY-chart you need to specify which dimension of the value you need.
  
  .Tooltip(t => t.Visible(true).Template("${ formatDate(value.x) }"))

  I hope this helps.
