Hello, 👋

We are currently developing graph reports and have encountered an issue with bar label positioning. Right now, the bar label position is 0°, which causes the labels to overlap and cover other label text. We would like to set the label position to 90° instead.

Could you please let us know if it’s possible to configure bar labels at 90°, and advise on where this modification can be made?

Thank you for your support! 😊

Use the chart scripting functions. Some info here:

> I'm trying to figure out what I can do with report chart scripting: [image] I'd like to add value numbers to the bars, rotate my X-axis labels (they're too long to display), and get a better understanding of what can be scripted. The manual has no mention of this under the report design components, the closest I could find was in the Vision components, which just refers you to the jfree chart documentation (which is not very helpful). Example chart: [image] Here's what I have in the script…

Hi David,

Thank you for your response. I understand from the information you provided about the "Axis options" \> "Label position" that we can change the label position there. However, we are specifically looking to change the "Bar Labels" that are displayed on top of the bars in the bar graph.

As linked in the previous information, these charts are JFreeCharts, so you will be able to use the API (also in the link I included) to modify the charts to your liking.
