Description

We have some visualizations where the text of each data point is overlapping each other, making the dashboard data illegible.

See 2nd and 4th visualization here:

Here another example:

And even like this:

Looking at how other chart libraries work in these cases, they don't display the text of every data point when that would cause overlapping.

Are you able to test with 1.7.2 and let us know if that solves the issue? The 1.7.2 release contained a fix for what you've mentioned and it would be great to see if that resolved the issue for your app.

Hello @TorreyBetts ,
I just gave 1.7.2 a try, and indeed the data text is not overlapping anymore, but it seems the data text to have been hidden all across the board, even in cases where the text would have fit.

In this image for 1.7.1, look at the left chart, that one had the issue, but the one on the right looked ok:

In 1.7.2 the one on the left now looks good, but the one on the right lost the text of each bar, even though it fit ok:

This is something we're still tweaking to improve as I write this. In your dashboard, if you maximize those visualizations they show the labels? In some charts with a lot of points you may need to zoom a little for them to appear.

@TorreyBetts If I maximize the visualization, the data points text appear again:

But if I try with a larger timeframe, they also disappear in the maximized mode:

Because of the number of points those labels may be hidden. If you zoom in a little bit they should appear. In the next upcoming release we've loosened up the aggressiveness of hiding the labels. The point of the fix included in the last release (1.7.2) was to elevate the abundance of labels issue you've experienced in 1.7.1.
