Title: How to show X - axis label in Horizontal way
Post by: Chandrasekar on 04 Aug 2015 01:54:55 AM
Hello Gurus,

I am having chart report in report studio version-10.2, X - axis have country and city. Measure is revenue.

Issue: Chart label want to show in horizontal type. (left to right).

What i am tried: When I Increased chart size(Width-30 cm), chart label show in horizontal type. But chart visual is not good(Chart is too big), and If sometimes labels exceed  the chart size again chart labels shows in vertically.

Please Can any one say how to solve another way . I shared screen shot, Please refer this attachment.

Thanks & Regards,
Chandrasekar.P

Hello nsaxena,

I already tried version 8 charts. Do changes in Label controls properties, Labels shows in horizontal. But the label not come with box. It shows with line.

That's the reason for ignore that method. Any way to add box for labels in v.8.

Please see the screenshot.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Cognos 10.2 chart have Nested chart display option(like chart labels in inside the box). But when using version 8 charts don't have that option. How can i show the chart labels is nested in version 8(That means legacy charts).

Thanks & Regards,
