    Display Strategy

    Display strategies include: Default, Abbreviated Display, and Interlaced Display.

    1. Default

    If the axis labels cannot be fully displayed, the system will automatically adjust the display style flexibly according to different situations, such as rotating the axis labels counterclockwise by 45 degrees, abbreviated display, interlaced display, or displaying with a scrollbar.

    2. Abbreviated Display

    Function

    If the long axis labels overlap with each other and are displayed unclearly, you can select Abbreviated Display and customize Text Direction, as shown in the following figure.

    iconNote:
    This display strategy is suitable for users who can accept incomplete axis label display, because the axis labels will be abbreviated.

    Procedure

    (1) Set Text Direction to -30° as shown in the following figure.

    (2) Check the effect, as shown in the following figure.

    3. Interlaced Display

    Function

    If you are unsatisfied with the incomplete information display caused by Abbreviated Display and less visual appeal due to axis label rotation, and want to display only the complete key content of the axis labels, you can select Interlaced DisplayIn this case, you can set Gap Quantity.

    Procedure

    (1) Select Interlaced Display, as shown in the following figure.

    (2) Check the effect, as shown in the following figure.

    Font Style of the Axis Label

    For category axis labels, you can set Font Style to Auto (default value), or Custom to customize the font type, font size, alignment method, and other properties of the labels. 

    1. If the dimension field is on Horizontal Axis, the following figure shows the editing page.

    2. If the dimension field is on Vertical Axis, you can set the alignment method of axis labels, as shown in the following figure.

    Axis Title Setting

    Axis Title Display

    Axis Title Modification

    Other Notes

    Separate Setting of the Drill Dimension

    If you have created a drill directory for dimension fields, you can set the category axis separately for each dimension field in the same drill directory. Click 1587363784157365.png to switch dimensions in the drill field and click the drop-down icon to Set Category Axis, as shown in the following figure.

    Interlaced Display Explanation

    When the gaps among labels in the category axis are small, Interlaced Display will be triggered. For example, if you have set Adaptation Display to Overall Adaptation or Width Adaptation when many axis labels exist on the category axis which is horizontal, the axis labels are not fully displayed. Instead, they will be displayed every other month, as shown in the following figure. 

    Axis Label Alignment Setting

    If the axis labels are not aligned, as shown in the following figure, select the left alignment in the Font Style area respectively for the category axis of the dimension fields Registration Time and Contract Type.

    Check the effect, as shown in the following figure.

    Displaying Two Different Dates on the Horizontal Axis

    You can simply drag two time fields to Horizontal Axis, as shown in the following figure.
