Bar chart label problem

[ana_abrantes]

I searched for an answer but without success.

So I'm posting my doubt hoping that someone could help me.

In fact, there 2 problems when I use bar chart.

1) if I use orientation=vertical, the axis label are truncated if too big;

2) if I use orientation=horizontal, the chart label of the biggest column is truncated on the right.

Please, can someone help me with this ?

In my experience it's actually worse than that in that even short labels get truncated.

 

Unfortunately it's not an iReport or JasperReports issue. It appears to be a bug in jfreechart. The old version worked incredibly well, but the new version is just plain ugly and (as you point out) not very good at doing the labels.

You could also change the font for the "Tick Labels" for the appropriate axis. Select a narrow font (like arial) and/or use a small font size.

there is a small gotcha with setting the Tick label font/fontsize: your settings won't be applied unless you first set font/fontsize for the Value or Category Label that they are associated with.
