XAxis Labels with Date only (no timestamp)

[JeffE]

I have a chart I want to show values by day only. But, if the sample is small, the chart auto-magically spreads out to show full timestamp (date + time). I don’t want the time to show ever, only the date.
Is there a way to do that other than creating my own XAxis as a ‘label’ type?

@jeffe,

You can use valueFormatString property to define how X-axis labels must be formatted before they appear. Please take a look at this code-snippet for an example on showing only date as the labels,

axisX:{      
   valueFormatString: "DD-MMM" ,
}, 

Kindly, take a look at this JSFiddle for an example on the same.
