How to auto set DateAxis's tick unit to the smallest one

Dear all,

I want to set a HorizontalDateAxis with the tick unit as small as possible, but the text won't overlap. Is there any function to do that?

I find that there is a setSkipCategoryLabelsToFit function for HorizontalCategoryAxis, is there any similar function for HorizontalDateAxis ?

Cheers,

JFreeChart choosest the smallest tick unit in the "standard" collection that doesn't result in overlapping labels. You can define the "standard" tick units using the setStandardTickUnits(...) method.
