Dynamically adjusted scale labels for displayed chart

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• generate, by a graphical user interface (GUI) implemented on the at least one processor, a chart to render a set of data for display within a display area of the display device, wherein the display area includes a plurality of x-axis scale labels indicating a scale of an x-axis of the chart;
• reduce, by the GUI, a distance between adjacent x-axis scale labels from the plurality of x-axis scale labels, responsive to detecting a command that re-renders the chart and that reduces the distance between adjacent x-axis scale labels;
• determine, by the GUI, that the reduced distance is within a threshold;
• increase, by the GUI, the reduced distance beyond the threshold by rotating each x-axis scale label, from the plurality of x-axis scale labels, towards a vertical orientation;
• and
• display, by the GUI, the set of data and the plurality of rotated x-axis scale labels within the chart as re-rendered according to the command.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• generating, by a graphical user interface (GUI) implemented on a display device, a chart to render a set of data for display within a display area of the display device, wherein the display area includes a plurality of x-axis scale labels indicating a scale of an x-axis of the chart;
• reducing, by the GUI, a distance between adjacent x-axis scale labels from the plurality of x-axis scale labels, responsive to detecting a command that re-renders the chart and that reduces the distance between adjacent x-axis scale labels;
• determining, by the GUI, that the reduced distance is within a threshold;
• increasing, by the GUI, the reduced distance beyond the threshold by rotating each x-axis scale label, from the plurality of x-axis scale labels, towards a vertical orientation;
• and
• displaying, by the GUI, the set of data and the plurality of rotated x-axis scale labels within the chart as re-rendered according to the command.
