Title: X axis alignment is possible ?
Post by: ranjankumar on 09 Jun 2009 05:18:57 AM
Hi ,

In my line chart graph i show date in X axis  ,  can i make alignment of date as slanting or vertical ( can change the degree ?) .

   value1         Value2          Value3
2009-01-01                    2009-01-02
              2009-01-01             

Instead of this i need it in slanting. to point directly to value1 , value2 , value3.. plseas reply ASAP

Click on the Ordinal Axis (on the abc).

In the properties menu, change the label control to Automatic. Set "Allow Stagger" and "Allow Skip" to no. Leave either "Allow 45 Rotation" or "Allow 90 Rotation" set to yes, depending on your needs. You can't directly set the degrees though.

The labels will only rotate if there is not enough room to show them side-by-side. If it's still not working, can you include a screenshot?
