title: Telerik UI for MVC Line Chart Category Axis Labels rendering on top of each other
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to display my data properly in a Telerik Line chart.  The data is displaying, but the labels are all bunched up at the bottom.  My labels are a short month name and the year, like &quot;DEC 2020&quot;, &quot;JAN 2021&quot;, etc.  How do I spread out the chart so that the labels appear correctly:</p>
  <p>Here is my chart definition:</p>
  <pre><code>    @(Html.Kendo().Chart(Model)
      .Name(&quot;chart&quot;)
      .Legend(legend =&gt; legend.Visible(false))
      .Series(series =&gt; {
          series.Line(model =&gt; model.NumberOfCompletedPlans)
              .CategoryField(&quot;Month&quot;)
              .Labels(labels =&gt; labels.Visible(true));
      })
  
      .ValueAxis(axis =&gt; axis
          .Numeric()
          .Line(line =&gt; line.Visible(false))
      )
              .Tooltip(tooltip =&gt; tooltip
          .Visible(true)
      )
      .ToClientTemplate()
  )
  </code></pre>
  <p>Here is how it is displaying:</p>
