Bar Chart X-Axis Label

Post by rborn »

I made a Bar Chart (label, Y1,Y2...). The labels are names which have around 15 characters in them, so they display vertically. When I add an X-Axis Title, it displays over top of the X-axis Labels. I was assuming it would push down below the labels. I'm just mentioning this since I noticed it, it is not a priority for me as I just removed the X-axis title since the labels are self explanatory.

Thanks,

Russell

Thanks for speaking up, but this likely won't change. The trouble is you may want labels to drop below the X axis label, and there's no way for DPlot to know. I suppose I could add a "avoid overlapping <whatever>" checkbox for each label.

You can get around the problem by adding \n sequences (line feeds) to the front end of your X axis label to shift it down, though this of course won't be precise.

I am not sure I understand why you would want to do what you mentioned, this is just to say, I don't know why, not that you wouldn't want to do that. I do not use bar graphs much and was only doing this graph to help me visualize something.

Below is what I was talking about, in case there was any confusion.

Thanks,

Russell
