If you have an excessive number of major ticks (or a step size such that there will be a number of major ticks), you can get an excessively large plot.

For instance, if I change the number of major steps to 30 in the playground/timescale example (line 14 of mainwindow.cpp), I will have a very large plot which can not be made smaller regardless of what you change the settings to. However, if I start with a smaller number and raise to 30 via GUI, it seems to be able to compensate for this just fine.

My own program has an issue where I would like to set the step size to a certain number, but want it to keep the plot to a more reasonable size and maybe display only a few of the labels. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Joey
