DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTED SCALE LABELS FOR DISPLAYED CHART

System, method, and computer product embodiments for proving a chart with dynamically-adjusted scale labels are described. A graphical user interface (GUI) generates a chart to display a set of data within a display area. The chart includes a plurality of x-axis scale labels to indicate a scale on the x-axis of the chart. The GUI reduces 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. When the GUI determines that the distance is within a threshold, the GUI increases the distance by rotating each x-axis scale label towards a vertical orientation. Then, the GUI displays the set of data and the plurality of rotated x-axis scale labels within the chart as re-rendered according to the command.
