Silverlight Area Series chart: how to define interval for X-Axis

I have a silverlight chart with an Area Series. my data source returns many points representing time of day to be displayed in the chart's X-axis.

since the X-axis has many values, the values appear开发者_开发百科 scrambled as each value is stuck beside the next value.

is there a method to avoid displaying all the values in the X-axis and display intervals instead ?

thanks

The DateTimeAxis has Interval and IntervalType properties that allow you to set the interval the you prefer.
