IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook - How to wrap the text for a label and display on multiple lines?

Question & Answer


Question

On my i2 Analyst's Notebook chart, I have a label for an icon, but the text for the label is very long and it is displayed on a single line. i2 Analyst's Notebook does not appear to be capable of wrapping the text and displaying it on multiple lines.

How can I wrap the text for the label so it can be displayed on multiple lines?


Cause

i2 Analyst's Notebook is not designed to wrap the texts for a label.  

 

Answer

i2 Analyst's Notebook cannot wrap the texts for a label and display it on multiple lines. This is because the wrap text setting has never applied to the label. It only affects the other text properties such as; descriptions, source references, source type, description of data and time. The only way to have the label displayed on multiple lines is to have Newlines in the text. If the label is composed of multiple properties then this can be done in the charting scheme.

Note:  However, if you also have i2 iBase installed you can achieve this by using Labeling schemes as part of a Charting Scheme.  For more information see this Knowledge Centre article:
