Hi guys, need your advice. I'm working on project which is going to have a dashboard using Google Visualizations API. It should be a highly customizable functionality with user enjoying a lot of freedom with choosing what data he wants to visualize.
We stuck on problem with long labels. Many labels in our visualizations are going to be considerably long (50 symbols and more). On many visualizations these labels get obscured. If we allow visualization to choose font size automatically the labels can get really small or don't appear at all; if we set a specific font size the labels do not fit and get cut. We truncate labels which are more than 20 characters long, but there's no way to show full labels in tooltip, only the same truncated ones. In any case, it looks horrible. We thought we could solve most of such problems by allowing user to view a bigger version of the chart, but the problem remains even on big ones. For example: http://i46.tinypic.com/1z21v9y.png http://i47.tinypic.com/r74tcj.png http://i45.tinypic.com/a24474.png On the first picture the legend fits (almost) by choosing proper visualization size and font size, but look how much white space remains - it could be much more compact, but we were not able to do so. Any solutions how to handle this problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Visualization API" group.
