Column chart type with data values overlapping column

[stonebranch2]

Depending on the chart data, sometimes the Column chart type shows data values overlapping the column, which makes the data values less readable. I would think that in the screenshots I have attached there is no need for overlapping. Two of the attachments demonstrate the undesired behaviour of overlapping and one of them demonstrates the desired behaviour of no overlapping.

This now fixed for 9.1 onward. The problem was that we were trying to keep the labels inside of the chart rect since it would look bad if the chart rect were visible and the label overlapped the rect. Instead, we now add one additional gradation if you configure the chart to show visible data labels.

Thanks, I will verify in the latest build.

Is there any way you can only add that extra gradation if the data value will actually overlap? The change seems to be a bit drastic in some cases, leaving quite a bit of white space.

Please see the attached screenshots.

Thanks

Hello Isomorphic,
Just following up to see if there are any updates on this issue?
Thank you

[Isomorphic]

We've made a change to revise the approach so that we check the max value against the largest gradation, and only add an additional gradation if there's not enough room for a standard-height data label.
This change should be present in the next nightly build (dated Aug 28), in the 4.1 / 5.0 branches

Looking really sharp, thank you!
