movable reference line labels

When drawing a reference line on scatterplots, for example, the labels are drawn by default a little bit to the left of the curve. When two curves are close this can become a problem, so similar to the move-able scatterplot labels, the customer is asking to allow for reference line labels positions to be adjustable

      Yes, definitely time this was implemented. It's ok when I am looking at the data myself to have the lines and curves labels overwrite and obscure the information on a bar chart, too close together in other charts, etc... But when presenting to a professional or executive audience, looks pretty bad.

      Hi Tobias,

      This has been open for more than 5 years!

      We have new customers/users complaining about this issue (in addition to the original customer who reported it 5 years ago).

      What is the plan to fix it?


      Thanks.

      This will be very useful. Another case where users can achieve this in Excel, but not in Spotfire.

    Move position of text for lines and curves

    unable to change position of lines and curves text. Results in the dashboard designer having to dedicate more screen real estate to a visualisation than is actually required, in order to be able to see the text. see attached file as an example.
