+Lots of bars

+
+ezcGraph by default reduces the amount of steps shown on an axis to about 10
+steps. This may cause unexpected results for when trying to draw a bar chart
+with more then 10 bars in one dataset. You may overwrite the behaviour by
+manually setting the amount of steps on the x axis.
+
+	<?php
+	// Initialize graph ...
+	$graph->xAxis->labelCount = count( $chart->data['name'] );
+	// Output graph ...
+	?>
+
+This works because all datasets implemnt the interface Countable. If you want
+to use it for more then one dataset you could do the following:
+
+	<?php
+	// Initialize graph ...
+	$chart->xAxis->labelCount = max(
+		count( $chart->data['name 1'] ),
+		count( $chart->data['name 2'] )
+	);
+	// Output graph ...
+	?>
+
 Combining bar and line charts
