    Display Strategy Setting for the Axis Label

    If you select Display Axis Label, three display strategies will be available:

    Display StrategyEffect
    Strategy one: Default 

    The system automatically adjusts the display style according to different situations.

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

    Strategy two: Display All 

    Display all axis labels.

    If you select Default and there are too many axis labels, only some of the axis labels will be displayed. If you want the axis labels to be fully displayed, you can select Display All.

    After selecting Display All, you can select or deselect Auto Wrap, and set Text Direction.

    Strategy three: Interlaced Display

    Display some of the labels.

    When there are too many axis labels, the abbreviated display and the rotating labels cannot display in a good effect, and you want the axis labels to show the complete key contents only, you can select Interlaced Display.

    After selecting Interlaced Display, you can set Gap Quantity and Text Direction. 

    Gap quantity setting: Selecting Auto refers to setting the most appropriate number of intervals selected by the system. Selecting Custom means that you can customize the number of intervals. The following figure shows the effect.

    Other Description

    Separate Setting of the Drill Dimension

    Interlaced Display Explanation

    When the gaps among labels on 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 horizontal category axis, the axis labels are not fully displayed. Instead, they are displayed in an interlaced way, as shown in the following figure.
