Aligning text used as axis numbers

[Simon_Aldworth]

Hi,

I'm using a text channel as my X axis so that my bar chart has text as the descriptor for each value (e.g. run 1, run 2, etc). However, I have rather a lot of text in each row of the X channel and when they appear on the graph they overlay each other or, if rotated say 90 degrees, they take up half the page. I can't find a way of setting the alignment so that the text is wrapped. Is this possible? Or, as an alternative, can I put carriage return and line feed characters into the text channel so that the wrapping is performed automatically?

Cheers,

Si.

Hi Si,

You can add carrriage returns to the text values in the X axis channel.  Here's an example of what that looks like.  If you're editing one of the text channel values in a VIEW table, try hitting <SHIFT><Enter> to add a new line to that string value-- DIAdem will add a little scroll bar to that cell in the VIEW table.
