Box Plot dimension formatting problem

Dear All,

Does anyone know how to widen the gap between the dimension text and the box plot display area ?

In the attached 7 figure box plot example qvw (using the Call Centre demo qvw data ) the dimension includes the Operator Name and a Nbr of Calls figure , e.g.

'David Laychak : 1402' which is aligned right next to the first symbol on the box plot, an 'x' for the minimum value, like so...

'David Laychak : 1402' x-------|

I'd prefer much more of a gap like this...

'David Laychak : 1402' x-------|

I've tried adding extra trailing spaces to the dimension text but they are ignored ...any way of moving the 0 start point on the expression axis ?, or is there some kind of chr() code that will be recognized as a trailing space ?

Regards,

In your calculated dimension you can add a couple of hard spaces (Chr(160)) at the end to make some room.

Thanks Johan, chr(160) did the trick,

Hi,

I think this brief summary example from Stephen Few is a good place to start if you're wondering what box plots might be good for..
