    Add zoom gradations to zooming on map charts

    When using a map chart I often run into the problem where one zoom level is too far out but the next closest is too far in and it quite a large jump from the previous zoom level. I would like the addition of more granular zoom levels. Potentially ...

    Log Grid Lines - minor grid lines and Log10 scale labels

    We need more control over how grid lines displayed on graphs. For example, in EXCEL you have major and minor grid lines and complete control over how they display. I want to have a Log10 scale graph that shows the normal Log10 scale, but Spotfire ...

    Customization of Labels and Zooming on Maps

    Map Labels - If the user wants to place labels above data points on a map, sometimes the locations Spotfire chooses end up covering other data points or making the map look too busy. It would be ideal to allow the user to click and drag on the lab...

    Spotfire Analyst - Add "Column Property" to the menu when clicking on the column name

    This would avoid multiple clicks, and other keyboard inputs to reach the column properties dialog (located under the Data menu). This would be mainly for Table visualizations, but could also be beneficial in other visualizations. See screenshot fr...

    Spotfire Analyst - Extend the horizontal or vertical line when resizing visualizations

    In Spotfire Analyst 10.3, when changing the size of the visualization frame, the line displayed stops at the visualization borders. It would be great to extend it, so that it could be aligned with visualizations which are not right beside the visu...

    Choose which columns get grand totals in cross-table

    We have a cross table where some columns (e.g. sales total) benefit from a grand total, whereas others (e.g. the sales rank of a product against other products) do not. We would like to have the option to choose whether a column gets a total. Ad...

    Expanded control of Curve/Line labels

    It would be extremely helpful if users can be granted significantly greater control over the formatting and placement of labels placed on plots. It is very common that labels are either cut off, in the wrong location (sometimes directly swapped wi...

    Add the ability to format the date fields used on chart axis

    The main reason for this request is for charts visualising data on a weekly level. Currently, only the week number is available; it would be nice if there were some formatting options for this i.e. instead of week number show the first day of the ...

    Enable X-axis label rotation(Vertical/Horizontal) for the Pareto Chart Mod

    The Pareto Chart Mod currently cannot display X-axis labels vertically, causing unreadable text when many categories or long names are present. Expose a LabelOrientation property (like the native bar chart) to allow vertical text. IronPython worka...
