INTRODUCTIONIf your axis labels are long, you can rotate them slightly to make them easier to read. For example, if your x-axis labels bump up against each other because of your chart's size or the amount of data it contains, you can angle the labels to make them more legible. |
TIPToggling On or Off The Angle Clockwise and Angle Counterclockwise buttons toggle the angled labels on or off. To return to regular text, simply click the appropriate angle button again. |
