I need to increase label width and decrease bar area on horizontal graphs so the label does not get cut off. when i try to wrap it makes some of the labels disappear.

Hi Sherrihe

Please post your code so we can help.

A basic horizontal graph. Some of the labels are up to 50 char long but we are also putting this into a compound document with other fex's on the same page. The bar area is bigger than the label area. i need to scrunch the bar area to make more room for the labels.

I do not know how to help you with PDF output. I think if it was JSCHART (HTML5) it would handle this out of the box. You better open a case on this one.

This sounds like a good question, helpful to others.

We could help you more if you reproduce that 'issue' with the GG Sales or one of the IBI Sample files?

AFAIK you can limit the overall size (height, width) of a graph, but not its individual section : BAR or x-axis label.

The x-axis label will adjust to the greatest displayed text length and then been squeeze when not enough space to display both label and bar in the defined area.
The first thing that will reduce (when resizing the width) its the bar length then from a certain point it's going to be the x-axis label.
But controlling them individually to a specific length, no idea...

One thing that can be done is to have your measure (y-axis) value reduced by a constant. Per example SALES / 10000
So, the upper limit will be less but proportionally the bar graph will remain the same length.
Which not solve the problem
