Hi,

I'm having two problems related to line bullets:

1. The first and last bullet are showed cut in half.
2. The tooltip of the last bullet cannot be showed falls outside the screen.

¿How can I solve both ? Thanks.

What version are you running? I seem to remember the tooltip problem being fixed at some stage but it doesn't seem to work when I test it. The AM Charts documentation [Tooltips – amCharts 4 Documentation](https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/concepts/tooltips/) says that the auto left / right feature is enabled since its version 4.

You have the chart hammered up against the right edge of the view so any CSS overflow is going to run off the edge. I'd allow some air in there with the padding / margin settings.

You might solve the problem by splitting the tooltip text onto two lines. I documented anything I have discovered on this thread: [Perspective XY Chart xAxes tooltip text {dateX}](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-xy-chart-xaxes-tooltip-text-datex/53580)

Thanks, tooltip line breaks suits in some cases. My versión is 8.1.38. Somewhere I've seen the idea of adding a "hidden" data point at the begining and at the end of the datasource could solve both problems in one shot, but I don't know well how to implement it. I'll try. BR

No need for that. Just add offset bindings to  
`xAxes.0.date.range.min` and `xAxes.0.date.range.max`.

Hi, I tried setting the min range two hours under the first datasource point timestamp without success (spanish format for date in tooltip). BR

Hi, I've added null value data points at the beginning and at the end of the datasource solving both problems. Thanks.
