[Chart] repeating label on X-axis [message #524618]

Dear all,

I have a chart showing day value for 4 month. It represents about 150 values.
I created a line chart showing these values and on x-axis I set the datetime as format 'Month Year' (for example November 2010).
Consequently it shows for each value the name of the month (150 times). What I want to do is to show the month label only once by grouping all labels into one.

is it possible by parametering the chart or do I have to script it ?

Regards

Tristan,

You could use a beforeDrawLabel script to strip out the month when the
month is the same as the previous.
