Is it possible to center the text in the XYChart axis labels? xAxes[0].appearance.labels.horizontalCenter only seems to center the labels on the tics, rather than center the text within the label itself. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/8/e8c285f07f5bd9d1bd80c2936a3d0ea61c227f04.png) ---

Hello Curtis, Is the label that you are trying to center one label with the date/time and psi or is it two separate labels? ---

Hello Jacob, I appreciate your response. It is the normal "category" label with a newline (\n) character thrown in there. One label.
