If you have long names on a bar chart Y-Axis they get truncated. This is a problem if you have ones that start with something similar. Could we have a word wrap option on the format menu that takes advantage of the vertical space so the whole label can be shown.

In the CHORD visual, only font size is adjustable for category labels. Please enable font type and text wrapping as well.

The new Hierarchy Tree Visual Chart is very useful, but the display text in the box is very limited. It will be a good visual if the wrap text function is available for the text in the box.

Need the ability to have text wrap for the y-axis category of horizontal bar charts. My suggestion would be to use the height of each bar as what controls how lines of text are visible.

In the attached image, area A is an example of a default horizontal bar chart. In area B the minimum category width and inner padding changed but the amount of text in the top two bars didn’t change. In the new method for wrapping text, Area C had the same change as area B but the top two bars now show wrapped text but still doesn’t display all of the text for the second bar. Area D increased the category width and decreased the inner padding which then allows all of the text for the second bar to be visible.

Great chart but it would be even better if we had the option to change the size of the data points, wrap the axis label text, disable the lines linked to the axes name and most importantly, specify the min and max y axis values.

Text in treemaps are often lost to .... It would be good to be able to wrap the text so the who field name is visible.

There seems to be a character limit for text fields for the Decomposition tree. Would LOVE to see this limit be expanded. Or at least have the ability to wrap the text.

it is always difficult to align the charts if we have more categories to display on charts with long names. It would be great if you can bring that in next update
