Yes I agree on both points. Would be good to be able to thin the x axis labels when it gets too cluttered. May also be helpful to draw a faint vertical line at the start of each calendar year. This is out of scope for NHSRplotthedots, but we could add the ggplot object within this package.
When you have 50 or more x-axis labels (eg months) they can get quite cluttered. Potentially option to thin these out a bit by shifting date labels from "1 month" to "2 months" or more. This would help with readability.
This is more of a PTD/MDC feature perhaps (I know it's important to follow MDC standards) but I do sometimes think it would be nice to have faint vertical lines or background shading that matches certain periods eg per year. This might also help with readability.
