Customize y axis area on chart

Hi,

 

Is there a way to customize the area of the y-axis so even when the chart size is shrunk or the chart is resized the y axis labels still display? 

Or alternatively is there a way to decrease the plotted area of a graph so the axis labels show and the area for the y axis labels remains constant? 

@needhelp

 

Thanks,

Aadra

Hi  @Anonymous ,

Do you mean that no matter how you drag the canvas size, the Y-axis label will be shown, according to research, this may not be supported.

The data of the Y-axis will reduce the display range as the canvas shrinks until it disappears.

Thanks, it seems that presently this is not possible. The y axis labels adjust according to the chart size automatically until a certain threshold.
