How can I skip empty x axis with scaleTime?

[gregg-cbs]

My xScale is Scale.scaleTime() which looks like its going up in a linear fashion even when i dont have data for certain days.

My data does not have entries for the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 15th November but bar columns are being created for those days.

How do i not create bars for days that are not in my data?

@gregg-cbs one quick solution I can think of is to turn your xAxis into an ordinal scale instead of linear. See this: https://unovis.dev/docs/guides/tips-and-tricks/#displaying-ordinal-values

Thanks for the response, it tried this today but i kept getting an error.

When I use the ordinal scale I get an error:
"Uncaught TypeError: axisGen.scale().ticks is not a function"

const xScale = Scale.scaleOrdinal()
const tickFormatX = (tick: number) => data[tick].x_label

    <VisAxis 
      type="x" 
      numTicks={Math.min(data.length, 10)}
      gridLine={true} 
      tickLine={false} 
      tickTextWidth={20}
      tickFormat={tickFormatX}
    />

I cant find any info in the docs on how to use or setup an ordinal scale.
