Sample stock graph and data (data pulled from public sources)

When creating an x-y scatter plot, I would like data labels, but the data
itself is a bit too fine for them. They are all scrunched together. I want them
to look nice, and I don't want to turn them vertical and 6pt font.

An option that is available in other graphing software is instead of putting a
label on every single data point, I can choose to skip every other one or put
in an integer value to choose how many are skipped.

Just in case this doesn't make sense, I'm adding a visual:

Current Setup when add data points
----------------------
Labels:       1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...

Data Points:  X X X X X X X X ...

My suggestion
------------------
create new integer parameter "skip n data points"
Example:
if n = 2

Labels:       1     4     7   ...

Data Points   X X X X X X X X ...

Not an urgent thing but would be nice. I attached a little project I was
working on to see if I could make a nice dashboard and you will be able to see
from the graph what I mean.
