How does one add padding to the data axes labels? or maybe even some offset?

Hello everyone! ParaView is amazing, but I have found that I couldn’t offset my data axes labels from the ticks. I really need the numbers on the axes grid to be large, and the same needs to be done with the label, but unfortunately, once you cross a certain threshold, they intersect.

Is there any way to achieve my desired outcome? Using custom bounds is not a solution because no matter how many sets of custom bounds I give, the label is large enough to intersect all of them.

Thank you!

Can you share the image you get and what is wrong with it ?

Hello @mwestphal!

Here are a couple of images that show what’s wrong:



I want to increase the distance between the grid numbers and the label (X/D). I could, of course, create specific bounds to avoid this issue, but I simply don’t want to.

Sorry for the late reply :frowning:

Looks like a bug to me, please share data and steps to reproduce.

Hey @mwestphal I unfortunately cannot share my exact data, but I’m pretty sure any dataset would reproduce this since it’s a conflict between the labels and the grid. The spacing is the issue here.

Here are the steps:

  1. Turn on axes grids,
  2. modify the axes grids settings — increase the font size of the numbers in the grid
  3. Increase the font size of the labels in the grids

My issue is: How can I manually control the spacing between labels and the ticks/numbers?

My current Paraview version is 5.11.2

Thank you so much!

Indeed, I reproduce.

You cant, instead ParaView should compute that automatically to ensure there is no overlap, but it doesnt yet.
