How to set X axis step

Here is my options scales: { display: false, gridLines: { display: false }, yAxes: [ { display: false } ], xAxes: [ { gridLines: { display: false } } ] } How can I set step between X axis values?

Maybe a related problem that I am having, in which I’m trying to figure out how to set my own step size on the x-axis with non-numeric labels (on Chart JS 2.0). I’m creating a stacked bar chart.

I can disable the scales.xAxes.ticks.autoSkip to false, but then I get all the labels (which I don’t want) When I set my own stepSize value, it doesn’t seem to register it - I think because my data labels are hard coded values and not numerical: labels: ["Jan-14","Feb-14","Mar-14","Apr-14","May-14","Jun-14","Jul-14","Aug-14","Sep-14","Oct-14","Nov-14","Dec-14",...] etc

I only want to see Jan and Jul labels spanning over years 2014-2016.

I also tried setting the xAxes.type to time, but it then doesn’t recognizes the labels I put in.

Any ideas to get around this?

In my JS fiddle I set autoSkip to true, but would ideally like the set up as explained above. my js fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/duckdave/59qz03wg/

It sounds like you’re creating a chart like https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/blob/master/samples/line/line.html but to be able to have a step (ie a numeric separation between values) you should create a chart more like https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/blob/master/samples/scatter/scatter.html
