Wrapping of X axis labels

[Manishkumar]

Hi,

Please let me know how to wrap the labels under the bar as the values overlaps on the next label when it has more number of characters.

Thanking you.

Hello Manishkumar,

Use the PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.RotationAngle property to rotate the labels so they do not overlap. Another option is to increase the plotting step, so that the axis labels are shown through a bigger step.To do this, set the XAxis AutoScale property to false and use the MinValue/MaxValue and Step properties.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for replying. Rotating the labels is one option, but if the text is too large, it will cut or will not show up. Is there any way to make them wrap or to split the labels when it has spaces?

Hello Manishkumar,

There are no other options than the one suggested in my previous post. if the labels are too long to fit even when rotated, you can increase the bottom margin of the PlotArea so that they fit. Generally setting the AutoLayout property of the chart to true should take care of this automatically.
If that does not suit you, you can always resort to the second suggestion, namely decreasing the number of Xaxis labels.

All the best,

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue. Is LabelFitMode="Multiline" property available in RadAjax Control chart?

Thanks

Hi Ananth,

There is no such property in the reporting chart item, but if you're already using another chart component/control, then you might consider saving it as an image and displaying it inside the report via the PictureBox report item. A sample project showing such approach can be found here: Use asp:chart in Telerik Reports.

Well, I had the same problem, and while it would fit me to rotate the labels, I found that rotated text rendering was unusable, there was no alias at all.

So, I tried to send the text already wrapped and it worked. My label now says

label = "Two\r\nWords";

and it works like a charm, it renders wrapped. The only thing now is that it's not centralized, but definitely looks better than those rotated labels that look as if they've been rendered by MS Paint.

Hi,

I am facing a similar kind of issue.I tried both rotating the labels and increasing spacingslotcount. When I tried rotating,if the labels are long,the bar graph in graph wizard is shrinking.The same is with the later.Is there any way that we can ​rotate label without effecting the graph or set ​graph height and label height separately so the graph size remains same even if label size increases.Please let me know if there is any way that we can avoid text overlap if labels are next to each other in a graph wizard or any tooltip that can show full name if cut labels to 20 characters.I am attaching a picture for better reference.Please check and let me know.

Thanks,

Hello Suchitra,

Based on your screenshot, you are using a CategoryScale, thus labels can be formatted through the Graph - CategoryGroups - Label property by an expression like

= Replace(Fields.GroupName,' ','
')

The replacement is a new line instead of blank space.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Stef,

When i tried the replace function,either the graph is not shown completely or the y axis labels are turning out to be 0 with no graph shown.Any idea why that is happening or do you know any other way for textwrapping the x-axis labels.May be like textwrap or i s there any way that i could format the labels text by custom formatting etc.I am attaching a picture for better reference.Please check and let me know.

Thanks,
