overlapping tick labels

[destradafilm]

I have a plot which uses custom labels using yaxis.ticktext.

yaxis: {
type: "category",
categoryarray: sortedLabelsArray.map((v, i) => i),
categoryorder: "array",
tickmode: "array",
ticktext: sortedLabelsArray,
tickvals: sortedLabelsArray.map((v, i) => i)
}

I dont know if this should be considered a bug or a feature request, but if there are too many values on an axis they tick labels overlap and are unreadable. When labels are auto-generated based on values it skips some labels in order to be readable.

Can there be an option ticktextpretty: BOOL to auto-hide labels some labels in between for readability when using 'ticktext' ?

Did you find any solution to this?
