overlappingBehavior

Decides how to arrange axis labels when there is not enough space to keep all of them.

Type:

|

Default Value: 'enlargeTickInterval'

Accepted Values: 'ignore' | 'stagger' | 'rotate' | 'enlargeTickInterval'

When axis labels overlap each other, you can rearrange them by setting the overlappingBehavior option. Depending on whether an axis is horizontal or vertical, this option accepts different values.

NOTE

Unless the rotated option is set to true, the argument axis is horizontal and the value axis is vertical.

The following values can be specified for both horizontal and vertical axes.

enlargeTickInterval
Enlarges the tick interval and, consequently, the interval between axis labels.
ignore
Leaves axis labels as they are - overlapped by each other.

The following values can be specified for horizontal axes only.

rotate
Rotates axis labels through the angle specified by the rotationAngle option.
stagger
Arranges axis labels in two rows in a staggering manner. An empty space between the rows is specified by the staggeringSpacing option.

NOTE

When specified, "rotate" and "stagger" apply even if axis labels do not overlap each other.

When configuring the widget using ASP.NET MVC Wrappers, specify this option using the OverlappingBehavior enum. This enum accepts the following values: EnlargeTickInterval, Ignore, Rotate and Stagger.

Decides how to arrange axis labels when there is not enough space to keep all of them.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'enlargeTickInterval'

Accepted Values: 'ignore' | 'stagger' | 'rotate' | 'enlargeTickInterval'

This option accepts one of the following values.

enlargeTickInterval
Enlarges the tick interval and, consequently, the interval between axis labels.
ignore
Leaves axis labels as they are - overlapped by each other.
rotate
Rotates axis labels through the angle specified by the rotationAngle option.
stagger
Arranges axis labels in two rows in a staggering manner. An empty space between the rows is specified by the staggeringSpacing option.

Alternatively, you can assign any of these values directly to the overlappingBehavior option.

When configuring the widget using ASP.NET MVC Wrappers, specify this option using the OverlappingBehavior enum. This enum accepts the following values: EnlargeTickInterval, Ignore, Rotate and Stagger.

rotationAngle

Specifies the rotation angle of axis labels. Applies only if the mode option is "rotate".

Type:

Number

Default Value: 90

staggeringSpacing

Adds a pixel-measured empty space between two staggered rows of axis labels. Applies only if the mode option is "stagger".

Type:

Number

Default Value: 5
