Parallel coordinates plot axes labels overlap

[kernc]

On parallel coordinate plot, axes labels overlap when the text is too long, font too large, or there are too many dimensions for given canvas width.

CodePen example: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/LygNGG

A short proposed solution, please have a look at PR kernc#1

Slightly related: #511

See #1256 for other known limitations.

I reviewed the thread. What do you mean by other limitations?

Well, the proposed PR ticks off the first item by an "other way of avoiding overlap". 😃 Would you prefer the labels slanted?

There are only so many dimensions (7) one can reasonably visualize and expect informative plots anyway.

Would you prefer the labels slanted?

Whatever parcoods prince @monfera prefers.

@kernc were you able to resolve the issue, with the possible solution that @monfera mentioned here.
If yes, could you please share here. It would be really helpful.

Thanks

Hi @bhvbhushan, has this been merged? Or, is there any other way to resolve the overlap. Perhaps, having the text on multiple lines?

Thanks

we had the same problem, slanting sucks a bit, cause it needs a lot of space. Wouldn't it be a simple idea, to make two lines for the labels and every second label is put in the bottom line?

[javdev]

I could do this myself, just adding a newline to half of the labels on at the end and a newline to the other half at the beginning of the labeltext, but the newline gets removed, as it seems. If it only would get trimmed, I could add a little dot, but it gets really removed

Hi - this issue has been sitting for a while, so as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our stack. Cheers - @gvwilson
