Hello,
The issue I have is I have 5 bar charts aligned vertically, with the y-axis labels on the left hand side.
I find that unless I set the maximum size percentage really low for the y-axis labels, I have this issue where if one chart has shorter labels then the other charts, it doesn't use that maximum size area and thus the starting point for the bars if shifted left compared to the other charts which needed all the maximum size and still couldn't fully display all their labels.
In the sample image below, the grey blocks cover my regular labels, but as you can see in the lower chart, one long label pushes the chart to the maximum allowed size, while for the upper chart the smaller labels don't use the maximum size and thus the bars start sooner.
Other than heavily restricting the maximum size percentage, is there a way to specify a fixed point for the bars to start as I'd like them to be consistently aligned. I've played around with adding whitespaces to the front of the labels, but its a very imperfect solution as well, as it leads to lots of clipping of otherwise quite short labels.
Thanks!
