Keynote 3.0: axis labels fixed?

I'm thinking whether or not to upgrade to Keynote 3.0. Can anyone tell me if the problem with axes on graphs has been fixed. In v1.0 and v2.0 Apple seemed to think that graphs don't need labels on axes and that automatic axes are cool - when in fact it means you look pretty amateur in front of any audience who actually worry about accuracy of data.
Specifically, when creating a graph, can you:
a. specify axis labels (eg. "Income per capita"
b. Manually set how many value labels appear and in what range -- in previous versions, without a lot of tweaking, you get value labels as 10.1213129874876 or something ridiculous for automatically created graphs.
Can anyone tell me if this has changed at all in v3.0?

Sorry no, this isn't it. If you set the min & max for value labels, Keynote simply divides the number by the number of labels and then produces labels with x number of decimal places -- which looks (and is) pretty stupid (or I do if there's something I'm missing). Keynote assumes that all axes will be a nice round number like 100, and cannot cope with maximum numbers like 0.65 or somehing. In these cases. You have to then adjust the number of labels and/or min max to get it to work -- very, very, very inflexible.
Also, adding axis labels by hand, as I said above, is a pain.
As for vertical (Japanese) text, I find it easier in Keynote 2 than in Powerpoint -- you simply drag a text box until it's only 1 charcter wide. But, I agree, it isn't elegant. I also understand the need for occasional furigana, but I find this is better in notes and forces me to use my kanji!
Do you use Keynote in a Japanese system environment (with Japanese menus?). I buy my software in Japan, but always have it set to English. Is there any difference do you know?
I cannot tell whether it has changed, as I never used
this functionality in KN 2, but currently you can for
each graph set "Value Axis Format": Minimum, Maximum
and Step, and that seems to be what you ask for.
When it comes to axis labels, I don't think it can be
automatic, but you can always add a separate Text Box
with the text you want.
(As you are in Japan, I should perhaps add that you
still cannot use vertical script or add furigana to
text. We were many who thought that was an obvious
thing for a new version, but it did not come true.)

    PS: I am using BO XI 3.1 Webi.
    Thank you,
    Sanjeev

    hi,
    I have tried this out with a sample.
    In WEBI preview mode and PDF, all axis labels will appear fine.
    But when exported to excel, some labels will disappear.
    Workaround: We have to increase the chart size in Excel till all axis labels appear clearly.

  • Showing one data point on a line chart - X-axis label placed away from its actual position

    Hi Guys,
         In line chart, i used CircleItemRenderer to show single data point. It shows correctly if it is single data point. But the x-axis label placed away from its actual position. Right now it displayed left most position where the line chart starts. I need to move that label straight of that datapoint where it plotted.  Please see the screen shot attached with this post.
    In screen shot, x-axis label "Jan" displayed in left most position.
         And how can we show the datatip for single datapoint. At present, we can't able to see the datatips also with single datapoint.
         Can any body help me to fix those two issues.

    I figured out a way to customize a single datapoint in a line series.  The solution is at this link:

  • Display Column Chart Y Axis Labels in Kilo(K), Million(M)...

    Hi Folks,
    I would like to display the Y-axis labels of a column chart in Kilo, Millions etc. I used the below mentioned formula in excel for that set of data. Here is the formula [>=1000000]0,,"M";[>=1000]0,"K";0
    Though in embedded excel it displays the values as desired, when I assign them to the column chart in Xcelsius the Y axis labels are not as expected. For Kilo it works fine but when it comes to millions it is not displaying accordingly. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sukumar

    Hi Sukumar,
           If You want to display the Y Axis Labels like Kilo(k),Million(M),Billions(B)...etc.Do the following things ,
            goto column chart properties->behaviour->scale in that Enable the Fixed Label size checkbox.

  • Duplicate y-axis labels on charts for small data values -- is this a bug?

    Hi,
    I have several charts where the data values are small (1,2,3). The y-axis labels are duplicated for these charts. For example, if the data value was 2 the y-axis labels display as 0 1 1 1 2 2 2. I know that I can manually set the maximum y-axis value and also set the segments on the chart to eliminate the duplicate values. My issue is that I have over 100 charts in my dashboard and I have to manually set the values each month, and then in the next month when the data values are larger I have to remove the maximum y-axis value so the y-axis value is dynamically created. Is this a known bug within the software? Is there any fix for this besides what I'm already doing?
    Please let me know if anyone else has seen this issue and if this is a bug, or if this has been corrected in any fix packs.
    Thanks!!

    Hi Jim,
    I have data for three months in the data range A1 to B3 as given below -
    Jan - 1
    Feb - 2
    Mar - 3
    In Cell D1 write a formula =MAX(B1:B3)+1 (This will give you value 4)
    Go to Chart property -> Behavior -> Scale -> Manual (Y) Axis ->  Minimum 0 and Maximum will be pointing to cell D1.
    Go to Chart property -> Behavior -> Scale -> Division -> Size of Division 1 and Minor Divisions 1
    This will give you Y Axis values as 0,1,2,3,4
    Now change value of any month to 5.  Now value in D1 would become 6 and Y-Axis would change to 0,2,4,6.
    Hope this helps.

  • Default Query Template - Graph axis label alignment

    We have BW3.1 and are using a modified Default Query Template. I am trying to set the alignment of the labels on the x-axis to diagonal (bottom-left to top-right) and although the preview shows the correct alignment, when used in conjunction with a query it defaults to vertical.
    It works fine if I develop a specific web template for a query, but not for adhoc queries.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm guessing this happens at 30 degrees as well: Bug 10199188 : CHARTS X AXIS LABEL IS BLURRED AT 45/60 ANGLE
    This bug was apparently fixed in the 11.1.1.6.6 Patch Set. Oracle Support does not have a workaround for this either.
    Please award points if helpful/correct.

  • Diagonal x-axis labels?

    Hi gang,
    In previous versions of Keynote you could set the x-axis labels to be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. I can't seem to find that option. Any ideas where that feature has been moved?
    Cheers!

    Yup - select your X-Axis values so they have an isolated bounding box, make sure your Format Bar is showing, and look on the left side of the Format Bar. You'll have a choice of how many of the X-Axis values to display and at what angle.

  • Y Axis Labels replaced with "..." on redraw

    I recently switched to JavaFX 1.2.1, which seems to have fixed issues with charts leaking when their datapoints and axes are dynamically redrawn. However, every time I update the data, the Y axis labels get messed up--"100.0" becomes "10..." and "0.0" becomes "...". Does anyone know a way to fix this? Thanks!

    You should report this bug to Kenai (Jira) if not already there.
    The only workaround I found is to change the format, so that only non-significant zeroes are hidden by the tick's label:
    {color:#8000A0}*formatTickLabel: function (f: Float): String { "{%.2f f}" }*{color}

  • Setting the title font and axis labels in a graph created with the Report Generation Toolkit

    I'm using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to generate Excel worksheets containing plots. Unfortunately, the default font size used in the plots is huge (see attached worksheet). I was able to use Excel Set Graph Font.vi to reduce the size of the axis labels, but there does not appear to be a function to do this to the title and legend. In addition, there does not appear to be a function to set the axis text labels. Before I write my own, has NI released additional functions to perform these tasks?

    Test1_-_embedded_graph's_title_and_legend_font_is_huge.xls ‏14 KB

    Hello Zeidan
    The graph title and legend font sizes can be changed by accessing a low level VI (Excel_Insert_Chart.vi) that is part of the excelsub.llb that is located at (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\addons\_office). This VI is called dynamically from within the Excel Insert Graph.vi and it uses VI server technology to access the Excel exposed properties. Attached to this post is an image of the block diagram of this VI after I have modified it to set the font sizes of the title and legend to 15. The circles in the image represent what I had to add to accomplish this.

  • Can I align the orientatio​n of axis labels in a graph generated with the report generation toolkit (Word)?

    I was wondering how to align the axis labels, i.e. 90 degree or such when creating a graph with the report generation toolkit in word.
    I can do it after the document is created through Format axis title -> alignment but is there a way out of LabVIEW?
    I'd especially like to rotate the y-axis label by 90 degrees.
    Thanks a lot,
    Juergen

    I think he means he can modify it by hand after the report has been generated... But what I want to do is generate the word graph out of labview already with the rotated axis label...
    After I posted this I found out that we can do this with a macro and use it from labview, but unfortunately I don't know VB, or VBA...

    Hi id,
    Thank you for your response. I hope you are doing well.
    There is an example in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples..). It is titled, Stacked Bar Graph. You can search for it if you switch tabs in the Example Finder window. This should help you create a stacked bar graph. To help you with your veritcal axis labels, here is a knowledge base link that details the process:

  • How to avoid repeatition of axis labels in Graphs in WebI 4.0??

    Hello All,
    I am working with graphs in WebI 4.0. In category axis, the labels are being repeated thrice ,twice and so on based on the filter which I have placed according to my requirement.. I need them to be displayed only once. I have used axis label delete factor from Format chart. But then it solved only partial problem. Appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Anila.

    plz
    try this
    create a one more vertical table
    and check that location-text and location-key are some .
    we think it would be like this
    location-text     location-key
    can                          01
    cbg                          02
    det                           03
    txc                           04
    txc                           05
    bec of different key and some description the axis is getting repeating.

  • Y Axis label color inherits Pen color and not the default Label color.

    Hi,
    How do I enforce my Y Axis Label to taken the default color specified in the iChart Y-Axis Label Color property instead of picking it from the Pen color selected from the legend? I have a Y-Axis Label called "Total Stock", I can very well change the Label text using method
    document.TestChart.getChartObject().setYAxisLabel("Label from code");
    But when I use a similar
    document.TestChart.getChartObject().setYAxisLabelColor(Color);
    property, I dont see the color change on the screen. But when I get the color using a getYAxisLabelColor() method , the specified input Color is set. My Label in the Y-Axis, always inherits the Pen color of the selected Legend Item, by default the first Item color on Page Load.
    Settings done in the iChart:
    Use Selected Pen for label : Unchecked
    Y Axis Label Color: #000000
    Y Axis Label : Total Stock
    Show Y Axis Label: Checked.
    I appreciate your help,
    Ajitha

    Jeremy,
    I tried the method you mentioned...
    document.TestChart.getChartObject().setYAxisLabelColor(document.TestChart.createColor("#000000"));
    But I still dont see a change in the Label color.
    Another finding is, when I try to alert the Label color on load of the page or during the creation of the applet, I see the label color on the alert is not the pen1color but the default Label color that is set in the display template. I assume that the legend's default selection, overwrites the Label color with the first pen color, but I could not get it with the getYAxisLabelColor() method, even though I see it on the screen.
    Thanks!

  • How to display axis labels on both x and y-axis of a column chart

    hi,
     i have an urgent requirement of having axis labels on both x and y axis
    In x-axis i got it by sorting order also but in y-axis i'm unable to do
    i need in y-axis ,my column values are L1,L2,L3,----L10these shuold display in y-axis in sorting order and 0 in axis should remain as it is ..........how to take the interval ....? as of now i'm using Auto
    my y-axis values shud look like 0,L1,L2,L3,L4,----L10can anyone get perfect solution
    thanx in advance
    lucky

    Hi Lucky,
    Per my understanding that you want to display the values(Column1) like  "L1,L2,L3....L10" which comes from the "Series group" in the Y-Axis label and keep the row group in "Category group" to
    display in the x-axis and Numric column(1,2,3,4) in the "Value", right?
    Gernerally the lable display in the y-axis is automatically based on the value of the Numric column in the "Value" and it default is numbric labels.
    I have tested on my local environment and in your scenario, i suggest to hide the axis lable of the y-axis and create an tablix to only show the one column contains the values (L1,L2,L3,L3) to display in the place of the hidden y-axis label.
    Detais information about to design an new y-axis label ae below for your reference:
    Create an tablix to display only the row group of the "Column1" ( for the
    Column1 may have duplicate values, you can create parent row group for this column and hide the detail column by setting the "Column Visibility").
    Right click the y-axis to select the "Vertical Axis Properties" and select the "Labels" on the left pane to check the "Hide Axis labels"
    Select the Chart Area and in the properties set value of left=0 under the CustomPosition:
    Set the border style=None for both the Chart and Column1's row group
    Drag the tablix at the position near the hidden y-axis and set the size of both the chart and the tablix to make the value in the tablix row group(Column1) to be align with the y-axis label:
    Right click the "Chart legend" to delete or hide the legend
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • How do I rotate chart axis labels?

    Trying to rotaet chart axis labels for the x-axis, but would like to know the same for the y-axis too. Know the solution for a text box, but doesn't seem to work for the axis labels.

    Hi Martin,
    The solution is the same for X and Y labels. Select the labels and then set the rotation angle, either in the Format Bar or in the Metrics Inspector.
