Graph Question: How NOT to skip Data-Labels on X-Axis

The data-labels on x-axis in my graph are skipping in between. It seems to be
happening whenever the length of the labels are a bit long. I aligned the
labels vertically hoping that they wouldn't skip. That did not help. I am not
able to hit the right options to make them not skip. Any ideas ?

Where are you accessing the data from? I got this problem when i was accessing data from SQL server where the data type was nvarchar. You will need to define alphanumeric fields for those fields and then use those defined fields in your report in such a case.

When you say x axis I suspect you mean what in WF graph terms is the ordinal axis.

Skiping of labels is controlled by the API calls
setO1LabelAutoSkip when not using automatic placement setPlace(false)
and set setPlaceSkip when using automatic placement setPlace(true).

The issue is that with setPlace(false) the default is do not skip labels
while for setPlace(true) the default is to skip labels.

When using setPlace(true) the API call setPlaceSkip(getO1Label(), 0); disables label skiping.

Karanth, I am using SQL. After seeing your tip, I truncated using substr(1,10,col) and casted the type to char(10) .. now I am able to fit more values on my axis.

Some values still disappear inspite of the fact that
there is space for them on the axis. Next, I will try JG's ideas.

Thx,
