Why this is a good first issue
The issue involves UI/UX improvements for chart labels but lacks a clear implementation path.
AI Summary
The issue reports truncated labels on the X-axis of charts, making them unreadable. The fix likely involves modifying the charts library to handle label display better, but the exact solution is unclear. The maintainer feedback suggests angled labels as a standard practice, but no definitive approach has been agreed upon.
Issue Description
Description of the issue
Labels on the X-axis are unreadable when there are "many" points/labels/columns. The labels get truncated from "Augustine" to "Aug..." or with fewer letters depending on the number of points.
Context information (for bug reports)
The truncation happens in the charts library and a fix is due there.
Observed result
Expected result
Some clever way of showing the labels, not sure how exactly this should be fixed.
One way could be something like the following image, although I'm not a fan of it at least it's functional.
Another way could be adding horizontal scroll and scaling the chart to show untruncated labels.
