JFreeChart bar chart too crowded on the X-axis

I am trying to produce a distribution of some "score" function. This function is scoring in the [1..100] range so I have data points in the following form:

 score 1: n1 counts
 score 2: n2 counts
 ...
 score 100: n100 counts

I tried to use a Bar Chart (using ChartFactory.createBarChart(...)) but the result is too crowded on the x-axis where I have 100 categories (for scores 1 to 100):

enter image description here

Note that the results shown above have a huge concentration (spike) around score 78 but that's not the problem. Even if they were nicely distributed I would still get an overloaded x axis.

Is there an easy remedy or should I be looking into some other kind of chart?

I got better results with an IntervalXYDataset and using ChartFactory.createXYBarChart:
