Silverlight Toolbox has too many axis labels
I am using the latest chart control from silverlight toolkit to plot some data. For small cases it works fine, but for large samples the X-axis labels overlap. It would be nice if the chart just omitted some of the values, or I could point out to show only 10 of them ...
I have not been able to find any properties that provide this behavior. Any ideas?

Assuming it's a linear axis, you can specify the spacing to use through a property Interval
on the axis.
If the axis in question belongs to the Axis category, then discarding some of the labels may be impractical for the user. One option is LayoutTransfomer
to rotate the labels by an angle that reduces the width required for each. See this blog post about delay on this issue.
