Bar Chart Query - Dimension Labels

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:05:28 GMT

Hi,

I am facing problem with Copy To Clipboard -> Image option.

When I do this with bar chart, dimension labels get shrinked automatically and shown with ... in the end. But if I go for Axes tab -> Dimension Axis box -> and choose "Regular" as font style, I am getting correct output. My client want dimension labels in bold only.

Attached is the difference of two scenerios.

Pls suggest!!

Activate the chart object and press ctrl+shift. Now you will see red lines around the plot area. Move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the red rectangle and drag it to desired position. This will give your labels some space.

In your case, I would prefer having the bar chart in horizontal orientation (See chart properties -> style tab) since long labels will be easier to read if they are horizontal instead of slanted.

Thanks for your reply.

I already tried the same you suggested but it didn't work. The only way i found was to remove Bold option for font.

Due to client requirement, I neither use Regular font face nor change Chart style.

Dear Mr. Arun, I suggest you to change the font style from regular "Arial" to "Arial monospaced for SAP" and select bold. It is working fine with my case. Please let me know if it works with yours.

With Regards,

Have not found a source to download this font neither, seems to come with an installation of SAP only. Usually it does not make much sense to use "exotic" fonts, which are not installed on each of the users' systems. Would suggest to experiment by yourself with regularly installed fonts (a pretty clear font is e.g. Tahoma, which is still pretty clear to read at 6 points).
