I have a chart that overflows its container. The labels for the bars with the minimum and maximum values are placed outside the chart frame. below is a self-contained example. For illustrative purposes, I have background colours on the chart frame and I guess what is called the chart container. The issue occurs in JS Chart or regular versions. I ant to fix it in the JS Chart version. I tried setting the scale based on the minimum and maximum values in the chart, which will work, but if the measure amounts change, the labels may overflow again.

All ideas will be appreciated. Thanking you.

And what if you use something such as this:

Similar to yours except that I also increased (decreased) the weight using the value length.

Merci Martin. Nice idea, but if I change the amounts, it doesn't work.

This seems to happen when the difference between the min and max is large, so maybe some other calculation for the extreme values will work...

I seem to have found a solution, though I don't know why it works.

Perhaps it's new math, that I'm not exposed to.

-SET &MM_BUFFER = ( ABS(&MIN_WEIGHT) + ABS(&MAX_WEIGHT) ) / 4;
-SET &MIN_WEIGHT = &MIN_WEIGHT - &MM_BUFFER;
-SET &MAX_WEIGHT = &MAX_WEIGHT + &MM_BUFFER;

Woah!!!! That background made my eyes go blind... JK

The background colours are for illustrative purposes - to identify the chart container and the chart frame.

Next time, wear sunglasses.
