How to modify labels in charts on x-axis

Hey everyone,

i have problems to configure the labels of the attached charts right.

in the first chart, there should be the last label on the x-axis ("16:30") removed, because it is to near to the label before. i configured birt , so that the label should be printed every hour.

in the second chart the label "2011" should be removed and a label "2010" should be inserted at the right place. i configured birt, so that the labels should be printed every two years, although the last step is 3 years.

can somebody tell me how to change the labels?

thanks so far

Hi Daniel, 
 
I think what your looking for can be solfed with some code in the <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/'>DevShare</a> section of the community page. It often helps searching there for code snippets from the folks of Actuate or other BIRT enthusiast. Here you can find a the JavaScript library called <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/devshare/designing-birt-reports/1313-build-professional-looking-charts-with-birt-chart-da-vinci/'>Chart Da Vinci</a>. This library enables you to manipulate a lot with the charts e.g. color grading but also stuff like how the scale should work etc. 
 
Hope this helps.

Hey,

thanks for the links, but unfortunately I didn't find anything that would help me. I thought it wouldn't be that much of problem to eliminate the last label on the x axis.
I thought the chart would do so, because I set the step width to a fix value. Do you have some idea, what I could do.
FYI: I'm generating the chart through java.

Has nobody an idea?

I'm searching the whole time for an answer, but didn't find anything. I think there must be a way, to force, that the labels are only shown for the given step, but I didn't find any way.
