Common Settings for "X_Axis" & "Y_Axis" sections in Extended Parameters

This is the details of the “Axes” settings you can find in the Extended Parameters section of the N4V elements. Depending on charts, some options may not be available on X-Axis or Y-Axis.

Updated for N4V 2023.1.0

  • X_Axis
    • Axis position : Define the position of the X-axis. By default (horizontal chart), the X-axis is placed on bottom of the chart
    • X axis scrollable : This setting allows you to make the X-axis scrollable. Set the number of categories that must always be seen when scrolling.
    • Title & Labels : Set and define here the title and the labels of the axis (display or not title/labels, font, labels rotation…). Hyperlink type labels can also be overloaded. You can use an icon in place of text for the label. Just define a full standard HTML IMG tag with size and style you need, for instance : 
      <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Flag_icon_red_4.svg" width="40px" height="80px" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);transform: rotate(90deg);" />

      A left margin can be added when using a 45° angle and long labels (to avoid label clipping).

    • Axis style : Define here the style of the axis line. To disable the axis line, just set the width to 0
    • Grids : Define here the style of the axis grids. To disable the axis grids, just set the width to 0.
    • Axis values formatting : These settings allow you to specify the unit to add as a measurement prefix or suffix as well as the maximum number of decimal places for the axis labels
  • Y_Axis
    • Axis position : Define the position of the Y-axis. By default (horizontal chart), the Y-axis is placed on left of the chart
    • Title & Labels : Set and define here the title and the labels of the axis (display or not title/labels, font, labels rotation…). You can use an icon in place of text for the label. Just define a full standard HTML IMG tag with size and style you need, for instance : 
      <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Flag_icon_red_4.svg" width="40px" height="80px" style="-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);transform: rotate(90deg);" />
    • Aggregated measures : In case of stacked measures, you can enable here the display of the sum of stacked measures & the format of the label
    • Axis style : Define here the style of the axis line. To disable the axis line, just set the width to 0
    • Grids : Define here the style of the axis grids. To disable the axis grids, just set the width to 0. Depending on charts, you can also set to not start/stop the axis on a tick, to maximize the usage of space for the chart (if axes are started/stopped on a tick, the grids of both axes are merged to be more readable). In some cases, you can also define a min/max value to stop/start axis : you can let empty (the min/max axe values will be calculated and adjusted automatically to the chart displayed when scrolling), set fixed values (fixed numeric values for the min/max values), or set “auto” then the min/max values will be automatically calculated through the min/max values of the chart and the axe will always be static on scrolling movement.
    • Axis values formatting : These settings allow you to specify the unit to add as a measurement prefix or suffix as well as the maximum number of decimal places for the axis labels
    • Axis Break : This setting allows you to define a specific range (From/To values) to break the Y-axis. You can also define the size (thickness) of the folded range, in values units. The breaking axis is only available on stacked (or not) bars/columns.
