richard.cutts Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am creating an Ad Hoc line chart and the axis labels at the bottom are overlapping each other making the chart as good as useless.What can I do to stop this happening. Can I get all the labels to rotate as the time do in the screenshot below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizam Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 From section 4.3.3.4 in the PDF of the User Guide "Rotating Label Text"http://community.jaspersoft.com/system/files/restricted-docs/jasperreports-server-user-guide_1.pdfTo rotate label text:1. In the Ad Hoc View panel, click the icon to show the Canvas Options menu.2. Select Chart Format... from the menu. The Chart Format window is displayed.3. In the Degrees to rotate X axis labels entry box, enter the rotation angle to apply to thelabels along the X axis. For instance:• To rotate labels clockwise 90 degrees, enter 90.• To rotate labels counter-clockwise 90 degrees, enter -90.• To rotate labels clockwise 45 degrees, enter 45, and so on. I beleive this was implemented in 5.5, so if you are on an earlier version, it may not be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard.cutts Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Unfortunately this setting only seems to apply to the topmost label. As per the screenshot, the topmost labels showing the time values are rotated. However the labels lower down the x axis do not rotate in the same fashion.

elizam Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm sorry, I should have been able to see that from the screen shot. There is no way in JasperReports Server to rotate the lower levels of the labels. It may be possible to do in JasperSoft Studio, which gives more access to the HighCharts options. However, this would not be a feature we formally test and support. In addition, editing an Ad Hoc view in JSS can be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
