Re: [jCharts-users] control of the x-axis labels

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Alls the code does is:

1) find the widest x-axis label
2) multiply that by the number of labels to see if they can all fit
3) if not, see if every 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... will fit until it finds one that does.

I suppose we could expose an interface for this so you could alter the algorithm.
