Where to configure axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation

bowesmana — Tue, 17 May 2011 01:52:39 GMT

Tried to find out where this parameter goes so that my reports show my X-Axis labels vertically as the text does not fit and all I currently can see is "0... 1... 1..." instead of "09:00 10:00 11:00"

Read that I shoulld modify this charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation to set it to 90, but the responses did not say where that must be configured.

Any ideas?

it is in your view and this will be an option of your chart for the axisX,ie:

<chart>
  <searchName>my search</searchName>
  <title>my title</title>
  <earliestTime>-24h</earliestTime>
      <option name="charting.chart">line</option>
      <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation">90</option>
</chart>

But i am not sure this property exist as i cannot see it here Axis and grid line properties

Then you will have to test

I'm such a newbie, I don't understand the answer 😞 I can see I have Manage Views and if I go to the Charting view, I can see lots of elements with values. I've read the docs on views and found that HiddenChartFormatter module contains these charting.* attrs, but I can't see how that module fits into the Charting view as that contains the FlashChart module, which is similar but different to HiddenChartFormatter...

you need to do a search,build report,save report and add to dashboard.

Then the created dashboard will be in Manager > User interface > views.

You click on the name and it will bring you to the xml edit.

There you should see <option name="charting.chart"> corresponding to your report.

Then below you just add <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation">90</option>

OK, thanks that worked! Do you know if it's possible to change the default and if so, where does it go?
