Overlapping labels in Scatter Graph - Web Dynpro for Java

[Former Member]

Hi

We have created a Scatter Graph in Web Dynpro for Java.

The xValue and yValue are obtained from a node. We are showing a name as the label on each point so plotted on the graph through Chart Designer (Format->$Label).

The issue we are facing is:

We have 3 points with the same xValue and yValue. Meaning they plot the same point on the graph. But the name associated with each is different. These names are overlapping (as its the same point on the graph) and are hence not readable.

Is there any way in which we can show multiple names/labels on the same point in a readable way?

Is it possible for us to show a tool tip at each point where the tool tip contains the comma seperated names/labels associated with all the x and yValues at that point?

Hi,

there's no automatic mechanism for detecting such label collisions in the scatter chart. However, you can change the position of each label (HorizontalPosition, VerticalPosition) and use point customizing to position several labels around this single point.

This is no longer a requirement for us. Hence marking the thread as answered.
