Category axis Label Display Step

[Neil]

Hey,
Say I have 92 columns in a bar chart ( 3 months) , could be 90 or 91 or 93, depends on the months. Id like to display all column for each day but the labels only to appear on the 1st day of the month. Could someone please advise how to achieve this functionality.
Current category axis configuration:

categoryAxis: {
            field: "PeriodTime",
            type: "Date",
            baseUnit: "days",            
            majorGridLines: {
                visible: false
            },            
            labels: {                
                font: "6.50pt Verdana",
                color: "#666666"
            },
            color: "#aa00bb"
        },....

Thanks in Advance, any suggestions appreciated. Regards,
Neil

Hello Neil,

In the current scenario I would recommend using a label template, which renders text only if the value is the first day of the month. For example: 

categoryAxis: [{
  baseUnit: "days",
  labels:  {
    template: "#= value.getDate() == 1 ? kendo.toString(value, 'dd-MMM') : '' #"
  },
