Axis values overlapping each other

[lanigit]

What happened:
When a visualization has a high amount of text values on a certain axis, the text overlays all other text, instead of only showing visible/readable text values based on the allotted space in the specific panel.

As an example for comparison, when using the same query in Azure Data Explorer, no matter the amount of records returned, ADX will only return text that is allowed by the currently allotted widget/panel size.

Is the only “fix” for this to limit the returned results, or expand the panel?

What you expected to happen:
When the space used by values returned on an axis are higher than allowed by the panel spacing, the text should be limited such that is remains readable while only showing a partial list of labels/names/text values/etc. (values which would still be visible in a tabular or tooltip view).

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

1. Write a query to returns a high amount of unique values for a bar chart
2. Expand the timespan search as needed to increase the amount of records returned
3. Notice that the text overlays other text making it difficult or impossible to read
