trellis behaving badly squished plots

Lynyrd — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 17:04:10 GMT

Trellis appears to plot 15 charts nicely, but 16 or more and Trellis squishes them.
sourcetype=mfgtestengsoftware | search "Result Logged" "Results{}.Pass"=true "B1611" "CCS" | spath Results{}.Actual | rename Results{}.Actual AS Actual | spath Results{}.Minimum | rename Results{}.Minimum AS Minimum | spath Results{}.Maximum | rename Results{}.Maximum AS Maximum | eval output = toString(Actual) + ";" + toString(Minimum) + ";" + toString(Maximum) | makemv delim=";" output | mvexpand output | eval new=mvdedup(output) | bin output span=0.5 | chart dc(new) over output by StepName limit=16 useother=f

here is squished plots limit=16

here is good plots at limit=15

@Lynyrd, have you tried setting the Trellis Scale to Independent instead of Shared? Following is corresponding Simple XML

    <option name="trellis.scales.shared">0</option>

Yes we tried both Shared and Independent and when limit=16 or greater we get squished plots. There seems to be a scaling issue with Trellis if you try to do many plots.

We basically have what we want, we just need a way for Trellis to NOT squish the plots if we desire 16 or more plots. We have nearly 150 plots to visually examine.

Is there a way to get the Splunk Team to investigate the limitations on Trellis and why it is squishing the plots past 16 or more plots? We have hundreds of plots to analyze. Can SPLUNK Incorporated investigate any bugs or limitations to Trellis plotting? Is there a trellis configuration setting?
