Chart X-Axis tick limiting about c3 HOT 10 CLOSED

You can use axis.x.tick.count option like axis.x.tick.count = 5.
Sample is here - http://c3js.org/samples/axes_x_tick_count.html
Please try this.
Thanks.

ok, understand this.. but is there a way to change it while the chart is in the page.. ie, dynamically load it?

chart.load({
axis: {
x: {
tick: {
count : 20
}..

Would be great if we could pass a function to the tick.count so it would update automatically .e.g

tick: {
  count: function () {
    return chart.size.width / 10;
  }
}

Also, the tick.count seems to be a little buggy at the moment. When this is set to certain values it draws a different number of ticks.

e.g.
tick.count = 4, actually draws 7
tick.count = 3, actually draws 2

http://jsfiddle.net/e482V/8/ is an example where count is ignored when set to 5.
http://jsfiddle.net/e482V/9/ is an example where 3 is set but 2 is in the chart.
http://jsfiddle.net/e482V/10/ is where 4 is set, only 2 in the chart

if you set 5... it no longer listens to count

Thank you for your troubleshooting, but it might be not easy to fix this because c3 uses d3 native function to set tick count..
Anyway, I'll check about this more.

@JakeSidSmith Hi, I agree with your idea. I'll add that functionality later.

@masayuki0812 Any news on this one?

from c3.

Sorry, there is not, but I'm considering to use categorized axis. I'll try later.

@chris-Opsimize I think this has been fixed and could you try on the latest version 0.1.27?

Looks grand!

I am facing one issue in X axis values. See my code below

<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="c3.js"></script>
<script>
var chart = c3.generate({
    data: {
        x : 'x',
        columns: [
            ['x', 'Ho Chi Minh City', 'Tanjung Priok (Jakarta)', 'Shenzhen', 'Haiphong', 'Antwerp', 'Chennai', 'Memphis Rail Ramp', 'Los Angeles / Long Beach / San Pedro', 'Shanghai', 'Shanghai'],
            ['Your lowest rate', 30, 200, 100, 400, 300, 25, 1000, 40000,20000,23000],
            ['Benchmark rate', 400, 200, 100, 4000, 1900, 100, 1400, 250,16000,19000],
            ['Lowest rate on route', 350, 15000, 19000, 16210, 16000, 12040, 12510, 18800,19500,11150],
        ],
        type: 'bar'
    },
    axis: {
        x: {
            type: 'category' // this needed to load string x value
        },
        y: {
          label: {
            text: 'Your Y Axis',
            position: 'outer-middle'
          },

        tick: {
          values: [1000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000, 25000, 30000, 35000, 40000, 45000, 50000]
        }

        }
    },

});

I have used "Shanghai" at two places in X axis value. Now its showing the position of Shanghai in array not name when I am plotting the graph. See attached graph image. How can I show the duplicate name in X - axis ..... because in my case there can be duplicate records in X- axis.
