Starting position of labels

[stephansann]

In my chart I would like to only have every second bar-pair to have a label and I do not want a rotation on size conflicts.
I managed to achieve this with this code:

                ColumnChart(
                    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().height(200.dp).padding(horizontal = 22.dp),
                    data = assembleStatisticBars(tmpStatisticsState.value.dayStatistics.sortedBy { it.date }),
                    labelProperties = LabelProperties(
                        textStyle = TextStyle.Default,
                        enabled = true,
                        rotationDegreeOnSizeConflict = 0F
                    ),
                    animationSpec = spring(
                        dampingRatio = Spring.DampingRatioMediumBouncy,
                        stiffness = Spring.StiffnessLow
                    )
                )

Anyhow it looks a bit off that the labels are starting in front of the y-axis:

Wouldn't it make more sense to always start the first label on x-position 0!?

Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi @stephansann .
The bad position of labels is chart problem.
Today i will release a new version with some changes, i think in the new version the positions will better.

[stephansann]

Great.
And there is another thing that is a bit visual odd, which I noticed today.

The bars which belong together should IMHO not be further apart than the distance to the next bar-pair.

Here it looks like a "wrong pairing":

[stephansann]

Was able to better the situation with "BarProperties(spacing = 1.dp)".
Anyhow IMHO the default should be that the spacing between the bars is not greater than the spacing to the next bar-pair.

0.0.15 version is released, please check that and let me notified if there is any improvement of positioning labels

[stephansann]

Bravo! 👏🏻

Now it looks amazing:

Thanks so much for the great work!

Additional nerd idea:
To make it 110% perfect, the first bar-pair should not start on the very left, but in the middle of the proportional portion of the chart.
Same for the last bar-pair.

Like so:

Ok, in the next version ill try to add start padding option for bars to be able to specify that.

[stephansann]

On a second thought, not only the first and last bar-pair should be in the middle of their proportional portion. Every bar-pair should be in the middle of their proportional portion 🤓

Hi. I am on 0.0.16. Labels are still miss aligned

[nqmgaming]

I have the same problem like @the-blue-app

[nqmgaming]
