Description
We would like to make use of an omit_first_ticklabels and 'omit_last_ticklabels' property on the axes. The property should allow to hide the first X or last X ticklabels, which would otherwise appear. This can be used to create cleaner and more refined print charts in scenarios, where the last or first label is not desirable or to close to the outer border of the chart to look visually appealing.
The same effect could be achieved with the new labelalias property by replacing the last or first label with an empty string, but the proposed method would be more intuitive and would also work well for automated data-updates, which might influence the range.
The new properties should take integers as input.

Research direction
Start by locating how axes properties and tick labels are defined and rendered; the issue names no files or tests. Add integer properties for omitting the first or last X tick labels, ensure they remain correct when automated data updates change the range, and verify the resulting charts have the requested labels hidden.
