X axis labels. How to reduce information.

Im having trouble finding how to reduce the number of x axis labels, (time), My graph is of temperature every 4 minutes over about 10 hours. I would like to have the x axis in hours, but Numbers seems to insist on labeling all 250 points. Is there a way to get Numbers to place x axis data labels only at every 25 data points? The Numbers Users Guide does not seem to address the problem.

If the intervals between x-values are the same, then a line graph will plot the data in the same fashion with correct distance between values. If the x-values have inconsistent intervals, then a line plot will not display the data properly.
But it appears that I did not look at the graphs close enough as X-Y Plots can set various intervals between x-axis values while Line Plots cannot change the x-axis intervals (but can change the y-axis interval.)
Here's a screen shot:

Using a formula as an axis label on an x-y scatter chart

I have a report with an x-y scatter chart and I want to be able to use a Formula Field (called xAxisLabel) in the x axis label. In the Chart Options | Title tab there is a place to enter the text you want for the X-Axis label, how do I include the Formula Field in this text. I have tried the following but each time the text I've entered as the X-Axis label is displayed instead of the result of the Formula Field .
@xAxisLabel
So for example if the Formula Field xAxisLabel returns the text 'ng/ml' I want the x axis label to be 'ng/ml' not ''

hi,
You can't paste the formula field in Chart Options -> Titles tab.
Workaround is
Obviously, you need to empty the X-axis text.
Adjust the "Chart Frame" height manually up such that some space is available at the bottom of the chart.
Then Place a text box manually at the bottom of the chart and Drag the formula field into text box.
Ensure "Can Grow" option is checked for that text box.

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 to display PIE chart Axis label horizontally?

Hi
Currently my PIE chart axis label is displying in 2 lines. How make it to display in one line?
Thank you

hi,
For Pie chart there will be no X-axis or Y-axis terms generally.
Label/Text could be one of the following.
Title?
or Sub Title?
or Foot note?
Right Click -> Format Title . Reduce the font size such that it fits into a single line.

How to display an image and add axis labels

Hey everyone,
I just had a really quick question on a program I created. It uses the vision module to open a file in a new display window, and I would like to add axis to the image simlilar to the picture below (With both the x and y axis labels as pixel, and a cursor which displays the pixel value or intensity). I have attached the simple program, as well as an example of the type of image I would like to open. Thank you for the help! =]

I've updated the open_img.vi file so that it works with the generic sample picture provided, but the program does not work with the image within the ZIP file from the previous post.
Or if anyone has any other ideas how to add axis labels to an image, I am by all means open to suggestion. Thanks

How do i change axis label object type from label to text? (to allow wrapping)

In the example of a barChart, how does one change the LABEL type from "Label" to "Text"?
I am trying to allow for long labels to wrap (ie. multi-line labels), but the default object type of labels is "Label" (which are single-line only).
I have been researching this issue all day, and have enountered a similar situation for changing the Legend component labels where a method override is implemented in a custom itemRenderer.
But I have not been able to figure out how to do this for an Axis label.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
J

Yes, thank you. I am aware of the AxisRenderer.... but I'm not sure how to implement it to change the label type from "Label" to "Text" to allow for wrapping.
I guess what I'm looking for is a good example....

How do I create a line break in an axis label

I have a very long x-axis label that needs some line breaks. I've tried every key combination I can think of to no avail. Does anyone know how?
Thanks,
Mark

There are a few ways to get line breaks.
First way: Go to the Chart Inspector, Axis tab. At the bottom it will either have references to the header cells it is using for labels or it will have a list of the labels. If it has references, use the second or third method. If it has text, go to the label you want to modify. Use Option-Return to put a line break in it.
Second way: This works when best before you create a chart and might work afterward if the chart is still refering to the header column and hasn't converted the labels to text. Use option-Return to create line breaks in the header cells of your table. In the screenshot below, the first label has no line breaks, the second has one, and the third has none but is simply wrapping to the next line in the cell.
Third way: If the chart inspector has references to the labels, go to the chart (not the table) and edit one of the labels. The inspector will now show text instead of references. Use the first method to add your line breaks.

How do I change time axis labels?

I have a few data plots that show some parameter on the y-axis versus time on the x-axis. The data spans several months (sometimes years). Currently my x-axis shows date labels for the left and right side of the plot and one value inbetween (happens to be 12-31-09). How can I set the axis format to show a label for each month or each major grid interval? Anything would be an improvement over just one date label.
Thanks

Try right-clicking directly on the axis label and select your desired style. You must click right on the label text or you will not get the correct pop-up menu.

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.

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.

How to have rotated axis labels in charts without embedding fonts?

Hi all,
I am trying to have slant/rotated axis labels in flex charts to avoid clutter in cases of large number of sample points. It was fairly easy to do this using 'labelRotation' method in AxisRenderer but this involved embedding fonts [ causes my swf to increase in size by atleast a 100KB which in my case is very high ]. My question is.. Can this be done without embedding the fonts? Maybe with the use of labelRenderer? Any alternatives that would solve the purpose without increase in swf size are also most appreciated as I ve been struggling with this for quiet a while.
Thanks a ton,
Siva

Please check LabVIEW\Examples\picture\demos.llb\polar plot demo.vi
But it has no zooming and cursors.
Maybe you can modify that example and use XY plot instead of picture control. I mean for each function plot on the picture, you generate another function to replace it and generate XY data pairs.
