X axis label problems, chart with large number of data points

[User (Legacy)]

Hi again, 

Using build 4.0.17.0 with VB 6.0.  I'm displaying an XY plot 

with 10,000+ data points.  I only want ten labels on the X axis 

and I want to leave the STEP setting for the X-axis to 1.  The reason 

I want to leave the STEP setting to 1 is that the SetScrollView and 

ZoomIn methods, both of which I need to use on this chart, round 

to the nearest STEP value.  I need to be able to scroll and zoom 

on non-STEP increments and the only way I seem to be able to 

accomplish this is by setting STEP to 1.  Back to the label problem. 

I set "LabelValue" to be the number of data points (10,000) divided 

by the number of labels I want on the X axis (10).   This gives me the 

right number of labels but they are cut off.  I only see a tiny bit of 

each label on the X axis.  Also, if I turn on tick marks I get what 

amounts 

to solid lines on the bottom of the chart because there is a tick line 

for 

every data point...I really only want one per label.  Is there some 

setting 

that will let me accomplish this? 

TIA,
