How to set categoryAxis Width?

[Jon]

I'm currently loading 4 bar charts on the page, but they don't line up perfectly due to categoryAxis (Y Axis) labels are different length. How do I control the categoryAxis width so the charts will all line up? I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean.

Hello Aaron,

I am afraid what you would like to achieve is not supported - there is no a built-in option for setting categoryAxis.labels width. As a possible workaround I can suggest using categoryAxis.labels.template and trim the labels after specific width:

$("#chart").kendoChart({
  //....
  categoryAxis: {
    //....
    labels: {
       template: "#= shortLabels(value)#"
    }
  }
});

function shortLabels(value) {
   if (value.length > 3) {
      value = value.substring(0, 5);
      return value;
   }
}
