Description Nicolas Gambardella 2024-01-15 18:15:31 UTC
On bar charts, one can put labels that are positioned diagonally, ending just at the level of the bar. If the font is too big, some labels disappear (seemingly arbitrarily. I was never able to understand what made the decision). To make them appear, we need to decrease the font, or to increase the angle ("text orientation" in the tab "label" of x-axis). Fine.

Now, if we have a bar chart where the values are NEGATIVE, meaning the bar are BELOW the x-axis, we need to position the labels above the axis. We can do that by selecting "Near axis (other side)" in the tab "positioning". However, the rules of appearance/disappearance are more stringent for those labels. We need to decrease the font size more or to increase the angle more, to make them appear. This is very odd since it should be the same code?
