How to always have a set amount of columns in a line chart?

[Stephanie]

I have a kendo line chart with data that has a date and a value associated with each point. Also the total number of datapoints  can range from 10,000 to 0 depending on filters and other factors. I would like to set the number of columns/divisions on the chart to ALWAYS be 6 no matter how many points of data I have to display.

What I understand is I can set the divisions of the chart using maxDivisions but I have issues getting it to consistently set the columns/divisions number to display 6 every time.

Is it possible to set the columns/divisions to 6?

Hello Stephanie,

Thank you for the provided screenshot.

Try setting the kendo-chart-category-axis-item baseUnitStep to auto and maxDateGroups to the desired number, like:

<kendo-chart-category-axis-item 
                baseUnitStep='auto' 
                [maxDateGroups]='6'>
            </kendo-chart-category-axis-item>

Here is an example:
