How can I right justify x-axis labels?

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:14:12 GMT

Hi all, my x-axis labels, when displayed vertically, are all left justified so some of them are a long way from the actual axis line.

does anyone know if its possible to change the alignment of them?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Ah, I see. I don't know of a way to align those to the right//top. But try Presentation --> Limit Legend and see if that gives you the result you're after (or something acceptable).

HI,

You can change the dimension labels in axis tab in chart properties window..

As I think, because of the different label lengths you get this problem... You can just limit label size and then it will be ok... or you can resize the chart to look nice... Or you can arrange the labels in an angle..

I also not aware of any method to align the labels to the top..

Hi Matt,

As Nilupa suggests, if you select the oblique option for your labels then they align to the axis. I have had to use this technique to achieve right justification, but sadly I've not been able to find any way to adjust the angle of the label.

Remember if trying to align the labels and padding with spaces you must use a non-proportional font like Courier New for the dimension label of the axis otherwise A with 5 spaces won't align with ABCDEF.

Combining that with a simple expression on the dimension like:

=if(len(myStringValue)<vMaxLenMyStringValue, repeat(' ',(vMaxLenMyStringValue-len(myStringValue)))&myStringValue, myStringValue)

vMaxLenMyStringValue simply contains =max(len(MyStringValue))

Yielded perfect results for me.

Hi Matthew,

if it is ok for you why don't you change the orientation (on the 'Style' tab of the 'Chart Properties') to horizontally. This looks way better...

Hope this helps

...or, what about this view:

Could this be an option?
