React Charts - Resolve Label Overlap

In this demo, argument axis labels overlap due to their length.

To specify the overlapping behavior, you can use one of the following label.overlappingBehavior modes:

  • none
    Leaves axis labels overlapped.

  • hide
    Hides certain axis labels and leaves more space for the others.

  • rotate
    Rotates axis labels at the angle specified by the rotationAngle property.

  • stagger
    Arranges axis labels into two staggered rows. Use the staggeringSpacing property to specify an empty space between rows.

#chart { height: 330px; max-width: 900px; margin: auto; } .options { padding: 20px; margin-top: 20px; background-color: rgba(191, 191, 191, 0.15); } .caption { font-weight: 500; font-size: 18px; } .option { margin-top: 10px; } .option > span { position: relative; top: 2px; margin-right: 10px; } .option > .dx-widget { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; }

All of the values above can be applied to a horizontal axis, but only none and hide can be specified for a vertical axis.
