Commonly used properties

showBasisInTitles

This property adds the N size to the category labels on plotly Bar and Column charts. 

Vertical grouped bar chart titled 'Q3 by Wave' displaying T2B (top 2 box) ratings for eight Hanahaki Disease therapies across three waves (W1, W2, W3). Each therapy is represented by different colored bars with percentage labels, sample sizes shown as N=228, N=231, N=231.

Line chart titled 'Line chart by S1' showing two trend lines (Practice Nurse in green, General Practitioner in blue) comparing percentages across six products (Product D, B, F, C, A, E). Values range from 6% to 38%, with both lines showing similar patterns.

maxLabelLength

You can set where text wraps by editing maxLabelLength under, xaxis or yaxis. This attribute takes a numeric value. 

For instance the xaxis for the chart below is set to wrap after 15 characters. Note, your chart should have wrap selected in the Chart type dialog, otherwise setting maxLabelLength will just truncate the text after the specified number of character. 

This property is also under legend, but the legend doesn't wrap text and will truncate the text after the specified maxLabelLength.

Vertical bar chart titled 'Numeric compact group, issue #669 barchart' displaying percentages for four treatment actions: Initiate drug therapy (17.1%), Switch to another drug (13.6%), Refer to a colleague (18.1%), and None of the above (5.79). All bars are blue with white percentage labels.

xaxis and yaxis

Add axis titles by setting the attribute value to a string (i.e. % of HCPs).

You can deselect visible under the x or yaxis properties to hide the axis altogether.
