The following values can be specified for horizontal axes only:

  • rotate
    Rotates axis labels at the angle specified by the rotationAngle property.
  • stagger
    Arranges axis labels in two rows in a staggered manner. Use the staggeringSpacing property to specify an empty space between rows.

Specifies how to wrap texts that do not fit into a single line.

Selector: word-wrap
Type:

String

Default Value: 'normal'
Accepted Values: 'normal' | 'breakWord' | 'none'

This property affects the vertical axis only when the placeholderSize property limits space for labels.

The following modes are available:

    Text breaks only at allowed breakpoints (for example, a space between two words).

  • "breakWord"
    Words can be broken if there are no available breakpoints in the line.

  • "none"
    Word wrap is disabled.

If the text overflows the container even after word wrap, the UI component applies the textOverflow property.
