Looking at other libraries might help, see:

Apart from that, I'd prefer a solution with minimal changes
to existing code for my problem instead of using sth. totally
new. In my case, and I believe in many others as well, it
would be totally sufficient to simply display only ticks/labels
on the axis for existing data points. It should be easy to make
this an option in the ValueAxis, named "onlyDataPointTicks" or
something like that.
