The Text in My Graph Is Unreadable or Takes Up Too Much Space

Troubleshooting > Problems with Graphs > The Text in My Graph Is Unreadable or Takes Up Too Much Space

If your attribute has a lot of categories, especially a lot of wordy categories, it’s much cleaner and easier to read if you put the attribute on the vertical axis. You’ll probably have to make it very tall, as well. If there’s still too much text, you can put the attribute on the down arrow of an empty summary table. Although not the same as a graph, you can at least read all the categories by scrolling down the table. You should consider doing a recode of the attribute to make fewer and shorter categories. (see Recode with a Switch Statement.)
