My users want the ability to display the text associated with the bottom axis grid ticks in either a vertical or horizontal setup.
When the text is displayed vertically (Axes.Bottom.Labels.Angle = 90) the title for that axis (Axes.Bottom.Title.Caption) shows up just fine.
When they change these tick labels to be horizontal (Axes.Bottom.Labels.Angle = 0), the labels cover the text of the bottom axis title.
Is there a way to pad the distance between the axis labels and the axis title? I just need a small amount of spacing in there when the labels are horizontal.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Aaron,

Yes, you can set a custom size for the labels as told here.

I noticed that I only have this problem when there are 2 lines to my time/date label on the bottom axis ticks.
They can turn the date part off so that it only displays the time. When we do that, the single line label does not cover up the title but when they display both the date and the time, it makes these labels 2 lines (Multi-line is true and needs to stay that way) and they then cover up my title.

So setting the label size to a constant value will help this how exactly?

I'll try it now and see how it looks when I do this.

Thanks.

Hi Aaron,

This could help when labels are vertical as you said the problem was when labels were rotated, didn't you?

I'll try it now and see how it looks when I do this.

If this doesn't help please let us know and we will try to find a solution to the issue.
