![]() ![]() ![]() Select Angle if you want to customize the rotation angle of the labels by yourself.Designer then adjusts the rotation angle according to the length of the label text as follows: if the text can completely display horizontally, the default rotation angle is 0 otherwise, the default rotation angle is 30 anticlockwise and Designer displays an ellipsis (…) for the cut-off part. Select Automatic if you want Designer to automatically adjust the rotation angle of the labels on the axis.In the Orientation tab, specify the rotation angle of the major and minor tick mark labels on the category axis respectively.Select Correlate with Major Label in the Minor Label subtab, if you want to apply font settings of the major tick mark labels to the minor tick marks. You can also apply some special effects to the tick mark labels, such as italicizing the labels and adding a horizontal line under the labels. In the Font tab, specify the font properties of the major and minor tick mark labels on the category axis respectively, including the font face, size, color, transparency, rotation angle, and shearing angle.Once you specify to label the tick marks by constant interval, Designer ignores the customized major tick labels in the Axis tab. See the example in Labeling Time Series Data by Constant Interval. This handles cases where data is missing such as weekend days may not show any activity but still need to show in the chart. Designer then increases the values for the tick marks continually based on the specified interval instead of just using values from database. Select Use Constant Interval and specify the minimum and maximum values to label the tick marks, and the unit between two adjacent tick marks. You can specify to label the major and minor tick marks on the axis with constant interval (you cannot apply constant interval to scatter charts). When the field on the category axis is one of the following types: Number, Date, Time, and DateTime, Designer enables the Scale subtab (for a bubble chart, only when the category field is one of the above types and the Bubble X Axis uses the category field).For the major tick mark labels, you can also specify whether to display the complete label text when you point to a major tick mark label on the axis. In the Option box, specify whether to show labels on the axis if yes, specify the frequency at which to label the tick marks, and the number of the tick mark labels to display on the axis. ![]() ![]() In the Tick Mark Length text box, specify the length of the tick marks. In the Line box, keep Correlate with Axis selected to apply the line settings that you specify for the axis to the tick marks otherwise, clear the option and specify the color, line style, transparency, and thickness of the tick marks.In the Type box, specify whether to show the tick marks and their position which can be inside/outside the axis or across the axis.In the Major Tick Mark and Minor Tick Mark subtabs, set properties of the major and minor tick marks respectively.In the Tick Mark tab, specify properties of the tick marks on the category axis.You can also select to type the label text manually. If you want to customize the labels, clear Auto, then from the Label Text drop-down list, select the field the values of which you prefer to display as the label text, or use a formula to control the label text. By default, Designer uses the values of the field on the category axis as the major tick mark labels of the axis. In the Label box, specify the gap between the axis labels and the axis, and select Best Effect to adjust the labels automatically to place them at the best position on the axis.In the Line box, specify the color, line style, transparency, and thickness of the axis (to change the color, select the color indicator and select a color from the color palette, or type the hexadecimal value of a color in the text box).For a scatter chart or a bubble chart which shows different fields on the category axis and bubble X axis, you can also specify the maximum and minimum values to display on the axis, the distance between two adjacent values on the axis, and the number of tick marks to show on the axis. In the Option box, select Show Gridlines if you want to display gridlines perpendicular to the axis.In the Axis tab, specify properties of the category axis.Designer displays the Format Category (X) Axis dialog box. Right-click any chart element and navigate to Format Axes > Format Category (X) Axis on the shortcut menu, or double-click the category axis of the chart.This topic contains the following sections: This topic introduces how you can format each axis of a chart. Pie, indicator, heat map, and organization charts do not have axes. Previous Topic Next Topic Formatting Chart AxesĪ chart may contain the following axes: category axis, value axis, and series axis. ![]()
