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.

+1 from me (but possibly it's already here?!)

You can do it with LibreOffice as well. First click activates the whole line (green) and the second click the individual label (blue frame). Does this work for you?
