Changing text direction of x-axis labels in graphs in UX

Hi all,

I am wondering how I can change the text direction of the x-axis labels in my graphs.

I created two graphs which I published next to each other on a dashboard, they have the same x-axis labels legend and settings, but for some reason, in the left chart the text direction is horizontal and in the right graph the text direction is sloping. This is not looking consistent.

What can I do to change the text direction? I could not find a setting for this in the card configurations settings. Also tried to make the cards larger but that does not help either.

The guys answered above right.

For visual consistency, I can recommend keeping all items visible on x-axis. This way both graphs will have diagonal alignment wich is bad for reading, but at least it is consistent. At least until we have an update where it is configurable. 😊

Based on what I checked, it depends on the number of list items in the grid and whether they have enough space in the grid or chart. If you see the chart-2 has less space, so the items are sloped.

If we give same space to both charts, they looks similar.

Try it out.

Hi @Dikshant

Thank you for coming back to me.

The graphs have exactly the same space, so that does not resolve the issue unfortunately.

As of now direction changing is not available, only we can change the font size.

Thanks @KirillKuznetsov : removing the "supress zeroes" did the trick, however, I only consider this as a temporary workaround as I don't want to show zeroes and would prefer to be able to configure the text direction.
