autoSkip data Labels

Hi, how to autoskip the datalabels if I got a bunch of data?

Eg. 10000 data, I want to display 100 labels only

Tried using this but it didn’t work

datalabels: {
       display: function (context) {
             return context.dataIndex % 3;
        }
};

Since v0.5.0 (released today), a better solution could be to use display: 'auto'.

display: function (ctx) {
    var capacity = 25;
    var count = ctx.dataset.data.length;
    var step = Math.ceil(count / capacity);
    return ctx.dataIndex  % step === 0;
}

This will guarantee to display a maximum of 25 labels whatever the number of data:

• count <= 25: all labels are displayed,
• count > 25: 1 label every 2 is displayed,
• count > 50: 1 label every 3 is displayed,
• count > 75: 1 label every 4 is displayed,
• …
