Can't Wrap X-Axis Text

[fred-spaceape]

hi,

I'm making a simple bar chart, but the x-axis labels are quite long ("Price XX% Timer Next Session")
When I plot it, I'm struggling to show the labels nicely.
I tried using textwrap to wrap the labels nicely e.g.

scale_x_discrete(labels = [textwrap.fill(label, width=12) for label in df['variant_name']]) +

textwrap.fill adds in the \n chars to break the lines up, but lets-plot ignores these when it generates the x-axis:

Any advice how to fix this?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi, multiline axis labels are not supported at the moment unfortunately.
There is corresponding issue #948 and we are currently working on the fix.

A partial workaround at this time could be adjusting the maximum length of labels using the lablim parameter in scale_x_discrete().

Good to know a fix is coming and thanks for the quick reply 🙇

Hi, multiline support added in 4.6.0, see demo.

I believe your textwrap trick should be working now. The latest is 4.6.1 actually.
