Description Frédéric Parrenin 2012-09-26 16:18:02 UTC 
Offset for data label is 10 at max.
This is quite small, depending on your graph.
Comment 1 Jean Bréfort 2012-09-27 11:41:06 UTC 
Which should be the limit?
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-09-27 15:06:13 UTC 
It seems to be difficult to imagine that a distance of much more than 10 pixels from the data point will still make it clear which data point is labelled?!
Comment 3 Frédéric Parrenin 2012-09-28 17:56:30 UTC 
Why prescribing a limit?
There is no limit in axis offset.
Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2012-09-28 18:40:50 UTC 
I suspect there is in fact only a limit n the GUI: the spin button needs an upper limit.
Comment 5 Jean Bréfort 2012-09-28 19:06:09 UTC 
The limit for the axis offset is 10000.
Comment 6 Jean Bréfort 2012-09-30 15:10:25 UTC 
I would accept a bit more than 10, may be not more than 20 though.
If you want labels elsewhere, you can create a new series with invisible lines and markers and use it to position your labels.
Comment 7 Frédéric Parrenin 2012-10-01 12:28:23 UTC 
20 would be fine for my example plot.
Comment 8 Jean Bréfort 2012-10-01 20:20:12 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
