When a vertical bar chart has many x-axis values, the display of x-values is not lined up well. It seems that x-axis values are shown below and to the right of the center of the vertical bars.

When there are many bars, the amount of "to the right" of the x-axis values starts too far right, so the values are not lined up at all under the bars. Attached is an image with two vertical bar chart visualizations with this issue.

It would be better for users if the x values were under the middle of the bars versus to the right.

Thoughts?
