overlappingBehavior

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

Type:

|

Default Value: 'hide'

Accepted Values: 'stagger' | 'rotate' | 'hide' | 'none'

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.

hide
Hides certain axis labels leaving more space for the others.
none
Leaves axis labels overlapped.

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.

When using the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, specify this option using the OverlappingBehavior enum. This enum accepts the following values: Stagger, Rotate, Hide and None.

NOTE

Specifying this option with an object as well as with the "enlargeTickInterval" and "ignore" values is deprecated.
