Kolien,

A couple of resources for you:

• this page will let you format a plot and see the corresponding JSON:  https://chart-studio.plotly.com/create/?fid=plotly2_demo:2&_ga=2.68894865.1821441609.1592847426-61083128.1592847426#/  The JSON elements you will need to change (I think) are tickangle and tickformat
• I found this page that has a list of all tickformat token options:  https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-make-the-messy-date-ticks-organized/7477/3  I think the format you want would be %e %b  for the embedded line feed, you could experiment with include the line feed as a literal (might need to use the \r or the hex equivalent, not sure if any of this will work, but that’s what I would try)

Hope that helps.  When you get it working, post your results here.  I will be curious to see your results!

When using the plotly online studio I can get the date format as I want it to be but when I try to add tickformat to Mendix, it won't work. Does anyone know how tickformat work in Mendix graphs?

Hi Kolien, 

You need to add the json config to the advanced configuration (Advanced tab of widget) like this:

{ "xaxis": {
  "tickformat": "%b %y"
} 
}

Don't forget to enable advanced option within the widget

GL!
