How to set the alignment of labels in a TimelinePlot

Gregory Lypny

Posted 26 days ago

Hi everyone, The text in multi-line labels in TimelinePlots is centred by default. Here's an example: theData = Association[ "TITLE OF AN EVENT Line 2 of an event, Line 3 of an event" -> "1923", "TITLE OF ANOTHER EVENT Line 2 of another event, Line 3 of another event" -> "1924" ]; TimelinePlot[theData, BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Palatino", FontColor -> Black, FontSize -> 12}, PlotLayout -> "Vertical", LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Palatino", FontColor -> Black, FontSize -> 12}, PlotLabel -> Style["TITLE\n subtitle\nsub-subtitle", FontFamily -> "Palatino", FontSize -> 14, FontColor -> Black], AspectRatio -> Automatic, ImageSize -> 540] How can I make the text left-aligned?

Hi everyone,

The text in multi-line labels in TimelinePlots is centred by default. Here's an example:

theData =
  Association[
   "TITLE OF AN EVENT
Line 2 of an event,
Line 3 of an event" -> "1923",

   "TITLE OF ANOTHER EVENT
Line 2 of another event,
Line 3 of another event" -> "1924"
   ];

TimelinePlot[theData, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Palatino", FontColor -> Black, 
   FontSize -> 12},
 PlotLayout -> "Vertical", 
 LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Palatino", FontColor -> Black, 
   FontSize -> 12}, 
 PlotLabel -> 
  Style["TITLE\n subtitle\nsub-subtitle", FontFamily -> "Palatino", 
   FontSize -> 14, FontColor -> Black], AspectRatio -> Automatic, 
 ImageSize -> 540]

How can I make the text left-aligned?

Hi Greg, One way to do this is to wrap the label with `Text[Style[...]]` and specify `TextAlignment`. E.g. theData = Association[ Text[Style["TITLE OF AN EVENT Line 2 of an event, Line 3 of an event", TextAlignment -> Left]] -> "1923", Text[Style["TITLE OF ANOTHER EVENT Line 2 of another event, Line 3 of another event", TextAlignment -> Left]] -> "1924"]

  Text[Style["TITLE OF ANOTHER EVENT

Line 3 of another event", TextAlignment -> Left]] -> "1924"]
