Hi,  
Can someone suggest a better way to use this Chart graphics with X axis and DateTime as source  
All X axis are only horizontal, not inclined mode, formatting ? Regards

I would set pagination and use the date format MM/DD or MM/DD/YY.

If you don’t like the pagination ordering, I did something that allow to paginate Z to A, but with A to Z in each page.

Best bet would be to use something like quickchart or the custom AI component fed with JSON data. Glide charts are pretty limited when it comes to design.
