Limit labels number on Chart.js line chart

I want to display all of the points on my chart from the data I get, but I don't want to display all the labels for them, because then the chart is not very readable. I was looking for it in the docs, but couldn't find any parameter that would limit this.

I don't want to take only three labels for example, because then the chart is also limited to three points. Is it possible?

I have something like that right now:

If I could just leave every third-fourth label, it would be great. But I found absolutely nothing about labels options.


Try adding the options.scales.xAxes.ticks.maxTicksLimit option:

xAxes: [{
    type: 'time',
    ticks: {
        autoSkip: true,
        maxTicksLimit: 20
    }
}]

For concreteness, let's say your original list of labels looks like:

["0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"]

If you only want to display every 4th label, filter your list of labels so that every 4th label is filled in, and all others are the empty string (e.g. ["0", "", "", "", "4", "", "", "", "8"]).
