Enhancing x-axis presentation in D3.js-generated charts

I created a bar chart using D3.js, but I have encountered an issue with one of the values on the x-axis being too long. I attempted to use CSS properties like text-overflow: ellipsis, width: 10px, and overflow: hidden to abbreviate values that exceed a certain length, but it's not working as expected. I tried setting the width of the text tag, however, that didn't seem to work either. Even when I placed it in a container in the dev tools and applied the mentioned properties, it still didn't solve the problem. Here is the code snippet:

<g class="tick" transform="translate(0, 10)" style="opacity: 1;">
  <line x2="-6" y2="0">
  <text x="-9" y="0" dy=".32em" style="text-anchor: end;">Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong</text>
</g>

Upon examining the bar graph creation process, I noticed that the inline style text-anchor: end was added. While this property neatly places the value name beside the axis tick, I'm struggling to figure out how to style the text tag so that a lengthy string like "Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooong" appears as "Longcat...". Any suggestions or solutions?

Thank you, --Gaweyne

Answer №1

Prior to creating a graph with your text, ensure that you trim it accordingly.

d.name = (d.name.length > 7 ) ? d.name.substring(0, 7) + "..." : d.name;

For a functional example, refer to this code snippet: http://jsbin.com/baxilo/edit?html,output

Hopefully, this information proves useful :)
