Hi Ignition Team,

I am having problem where the x axis values in my xy chart is repeating.  
Please see attached images for the actual chart and the datasource.

[you can see from the image that Nov X axis values is repeating where as my data source only has Nov and Dec for the month. Nov and Dec are in current millins ([https://currentmillis.com/](https://currentmillis.com/))

You probably need to work with `xAxes.0.appearance.grid.minDistance` to get the effect you want. Have a read of Nick Minchin's reply on this topic. (It's about the y-axis grid so you'll need to convert to x-axis.)
