Add ability to AutoSkip Category labels to prevent overlaps.
Hi,
What I am looking for is a "better" way of carrying out the manual calculation for label skipping:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-access-charts-(chartarea)-width-to-calculate-labels-step(x)

Preference would be similar functionality to the categoryAxis itself (autoBaseUnitSteps/baseUnitStep/maxDateGroups) but it would only affect the labelling without aggregating the data.

Assuming similar functionality to CategoryAxis using a step of "auto" the maxDateGroups should also have an "auto" setting that would adjust the max groups so that the labels never overlap.

Thanks

Hi,

As there is no clear indication on how non-date labels would be skipped we have to decline this request.

If you feel that we are missing something and have a specific use-case in mind please feel free to comment.

Hello,

This functionality is already available for the Date category charts by specifying the number of labels you want to show:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart/configuration/categoryaxis.maxdivisions

However, we would like to hear from you to check if you were looking to have this feature for non-date categories.

What is the desired outcome if the categories were product types for example - beverages, seafood, condiments. If we limited the labels, how would we determine which should be visible and which to hide? For non-date categories, the labels carry additional information about the data that cannot be inferred from previous and subsequent categories as we can with the date categories.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,

This is still very much needed. I'd love to have such a functionality.
