statistics: print ellipsis in case of too little space

In categorical axes all labels were printed leading to a big
tohu wa-bohu for two many bins. Therefore, if a label is
larger than the space between two ticks, replace by an ellipsis.

Adjust the size of the ellipsis (".", ".." or "...") to the
available space.
