Remove x-axis label/text in chart.js

Question

How do I hide the x-axis label/text that is displayed in chart.js ?

Setting scaleShowLabels:false only removes the y-axis labels.

<script>
    var options = {
        scaleFontColor: "#fa0",
        datasetStrokeWidth: 1,
        scaleShowLabels : false,
        animation : false,
        bezierCurve : true,
        scaleStartValue: 0,
    };
    var lineChartData = {
        labels : ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7"],
        datasets : [
            {
                fillColor : "rgba(151,187,205,0.5)",
                strokeColor : "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
                pointColor : "rgba(151,187,205,1)",
                pointStrokeColor : "#fff",
                data : [1,3,0,0,6,2,10]
            }
        ]

    }

var myLine = new Chart(document.getElementById("canvas").getContext("2d")).Line(lineChartData,options);

</script>

UPDATE chart.js 2.1 and above

var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    ...
    options:{
        scales:{
            xAxes: [{
                display: false //this will remove all the x-axis grid lines
            }]
        }
    }
});


var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
    ...
    options: {
        scales: {
            xAxes: [{
                ticks: {
                    display: false //this will remove only the label
                }
            }]
        }
    }
});

Old answer (written when the current version was 1.0 beta) just for reference below:

To avoid displaying labels in chart.js you have to set scaleShowLabels : false and also avoid to pass the labels:

<script>
    var options = {
        ...
        scaleShowLabels : false
    };
    var lineChartData = {
        //COMMENT THIS LINE TO AVOID DISPLAYING THE LABELS
        //labels : ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7"],
        ... 
    }
    ...
</script>
