Scatter Chart Play Axis Label Formatting

I currently have a Scatter Chart in my model that has Date/Time as the Play Axis. The play feature works fine but the X axis labels are horizontal and therefore overlap so they are not readable. I would like to display then at a diaganol but cant figure out how to do this.

 

Any ideas?

Thought that may be the case. It did adjust once I enlarged the viual to full page width.

Thanks for your help.

@Bebo I don't think you have the option to handle the angle of the x-axis labels, it adjust the angle by itself based on the size, maybe try to change the size of your visual and see if you can have it working.
