  <p><strong>The Problem is this:</strong></p>
  
  <p>a) xaxis don't start at the left side and also it will show values that i don't want to see</p>
  
  <p>b) just the same problem on the right with more numbers that dont need</p>
  
  <p>c) i would like to have all days on the xaxis 1 2 3 4 5 ... not 31 3 6 9 ...</p>
  
  <p>d) is it possible to set a kind of offset to the bottom (just a little bit ...)</p>
