'Altair: Controlling tick counts for binned axis
I'm trying to generate a histogram in Altair, but I'm having trouble controlling the tick count for the axis corresponding to the binned variable (x-axis). I'm new to Altair so apologies I'm missing something obvious here. I tried to look for whether others had faced this kind of issue but didn't find an exact match.
The code to generate the histogram is
alt.Chart(df_test).mark_bar().encode(
x=alt.X('x:Q', bin=alt.Bin(step=0.1), scale=alt.Scale(domain=[8.9, 11.6])),
y=alt.Y('count(y):Q', title='Count(Y)')
).configure_axis(labelLimit=0, tickCount=3)
df_test is a Pandas dataframe - the data for which is available here.
The above code generates the following histogram. Changing tickCount changes the y-axis tick counts, but not the x-axis.
Any guidance is appreciated.
