I set x_label_skip
to skip labels, but it still tries to display the very last label and it is overwriting the other label, and looks messy. It shouldn't be writing the last label. It should be skipping the last label. I set the number of labels to skip as a function of how many data points there are.
This is what it looks like:
Code:
my $graph = GD::Graph::lines->new(400, 500);
$graph->set(
r_margin => 2,
x_label => 'Date',
y_label => 'Price',
title => "$symbol1, $symbol2",
dclrs => [ qw(lred lblue lgreen lyellow lpurple cyan lorange) ],
transparent => 0,
x_labels_vertical => 1,
x_label_skip => int ((@tmpDate * 8)/(400-50) + 1), # a function of # of data points, each label 8px. More labels, more skip.
) or die $graph->error;
