title: Controlling flex chart axes
body: <p>I want to use small flex charts with just 3 labels, for example a chart over the past 2 hours , with 3 horizontal label, as shown below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  |       |        |    
  9:46    10:46    11:46
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(of course, there are more than 3 values to display!)</p>
  
  <p>I have been told this is not trivial, but how would you do it? </p>
  
  <p>Also, do you know of any books that present how to achieve sophisticated layouts in Flex?  The books I have found are code-oriented and usually limit formatting to a minimum, and it's not always straightforward to connect the names of attributes to what you are trying to do.</p>
