Good morning,

I'm using an XY chart and the Xaxis is set to 'date'.  
What I need to do is fix the grid every hour, I try to play with the `minDistance` property but actually it works as "it wants", depending on the width of the XY chart.

I simply need to show the grid every 1 hour, is it possible to do it?

Thank you
