Chart

Labels: Change the axis labels’ font, size, style (Bold, Italic and/or Underline), color, angle and label trimming. Axis labels can be removed from the visual by disabling ‘Show labels’.


  • Label text format: Format the axis labels using D3 format. Say, labels need to be changed to k or M format, this field can be used for formatting purpose.

  • Label suffix: Text here will be added after the axis labels.

  • Label trimming: Trims the size of axes labels displayed. Max label length sets the limit of axes label length. The labels can be trimmed in the following ways:

  • Ellipses in end: It puts an ellipsis (...) at the end of label and trims the label from the end.
  • Break into 2 lines: It breaks the label into two lines if label exceeds the max label length but it does not truncates the axes label text.
  • Multi-line: It breaks the label into multiple lines if label exceeds the max label length but it does not truncates the axes label text.

Chart

  • GridLines: Enable or disable grid lines in the chart as per requirement.
  • GridLines color: Allows to change the color of the grid lines.
  • GridLines width: Allows to change the width of the grid lines.
