I'm creating a stacked bar graph and need to show the label inside the stack. But Few of the label's are getting overlapped. for reference image
Can you please help me how to avoid overlapping using google charts ?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart', 'bar']});
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawStacked);
function drawStacked() {
var data = new google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([['Time Period','XYZ',{ role: 'annotation'},'ABC',{ role: 'annotation'},{ role: 'annotation'},'Average'],
['Aug', 3754,'3754', 2089,'2089','5,843',4000],
['Sept', 900,'900', 200,'200', '100',4000],
['Oct', 2000,'2000', 4900,'4900', '6000',4000],
['Nov', 1700,'1700', 2200,'2200', '3900',4000],
['Dec', 2400,'2400', 2089,'2200', '4600',4000]
]);
var options = {
title: 'Overview of the Tickets',
isStacked: true,
orientation: 'horizontal',
hAxis: {
title: 'Time Period',
annotations: {}
},
vAxis: {
title: 'Number of Tickets'
},
seriesType: 'bars',
series: {2: {type: 'line'}}
};
var chart = new google.visualization.ComboChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
chart.draw(data, options);
}
</script>

Regards, Srikanth
first, it appears you have an extra
annotation
column in your data,that doesn't appear to belong to a specific column
copied from question above...
this could be part of the reason it's so cluttered
regardless, use the
annotations
configuration option for adjustmentsthe config option can be used for the entire chart, or just for a specific series
specifically, you can use a combination of
annotations.textStyle.fontSize
andannotations.stem.length
to prevent overlappingsee following working snippet...
annotations.textStyle.fontSize
is reduced for the entire chartthis allows the first annotation on the second column to fit within the bar
annotations.stem.length
is set to zero (0
) on the first series,and
16
on the second...(the extra annotation from the question has been removed)
EDIT
since the third annotation is needed as the total of the other two stacks,
recommend adding the series value for the total, in addition to the annotation column
and setting the total series type to
'line'
this will place the total annotation above the rest, for sure
so long as there is enough room on the chart to display the annotation above the bars
to ensure enough room above bars, find the max vAxis value, and add a value that will create enough room for the annotation
then set that value as
vAxis.viewWindow.max
you can turn off the line and point, and hide the total series from the legend if needed
in my experience, it takes quite a bit of manipulation to get a complex google chart to display nicely
see the following working snippet, which incorporates the third, 'total', annotation...
I think it happens because there's not enough vertical space for the labels.
Try this:
Save the highest value of the graph (let's call it maxNumber)
In the "options" set vAxis maxValue to be maxNumber plus a little more.
I have 4 horizontal lines in my graph so I wrote:
