I have about 120 points on the graph to plot. The issue is that I would like the x axis to scale like the y axis or display possibly every 4 or 5th one. right now it displays every month of every year scaled down to a size you can't read and because they are too tightly packed they overlap each other and only 1 value is displayed at the far right of the graph.

The x axis are dates if that affects the scaling

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks,

Leo

Well I kept on fiddling till I eventually got it... so that good. Cool

Now does anyone know how to put the label at an angle for the x axis?

right now its written top to bottom with the letters facing down. I would like the letters facing down but the word written at an angle.

thanks,

Leo

As far as I can tell from my experience with the Graph API calls, there is no way to make the Label show at an angle which you are looking for. If there IS then I would like to know about it as well. Sorry.

Exactly, there is no way display axis labels at an angle - Perspective for Java GRAPH API does not allow it.
The property O1LabelRotate, allows for only three possible value's:
0 - no rotation
1 - 90 degrees
2 - 270 degrees

Just to remind:
There are very useful API properties for displaying large number of axis labels in a readable way:
O1LabelAutoSkip, O1LabelSkipBegin, O1LabelSkipCount

Yeah I had those API values...but was hoping that it could go at an angle with something from WebFocus... not the end of the world.

thanks for answering

This specific functionality (angled axis names) will be available in the 5.3 release which is in beta testing now and will likely be production by the end of the summer.
