Cannot fit
Hi there. I am a total newb to Ruby and coding in general, but I have been messing around with a script which will pull data from Excel and create a graph (among others) and output it to a PDF. Finally I got it to work and it produced a graph and output it to a PDF. So, to test it further I wanted to make some data more representative of the data I will work with in the future and here I am stuck. This is beyond my skills. Way beyond. When the graph exceeds ~40 data points, Prawn produces an error:
https://gist.github.com/Dysp/8e0b6a88eafb69d0c927
I'll be working with waaay larger data sets and I simply need to produce a line-graph that represents this data.
How do I address this issue? I am sorry if I am just not capable and it is easily fixable, but I don't know where to go for help but here.
Hello and thanks for using Squid.
I never tested with so many data points, so I can't be sure, but from your error log looks like the *text *cannot fit into the PDF.
I would try again play around with options like legend: false or baseline: false or any option that deals with text from http://fullscreen.github.io/squid/
Let me know if that solves the issue!

I actually tried it with a few of the options, but it didn't work. However if I put baseline: false, then it works beautifully. I even tested it a little further and went to 2880 datapoints and it still worked.
Thank you so much!
Did any of you guys find a fix to make this work with baseline: true? I want to show the category names at the bottom, maybe rotated 90 degrees so those can fit. I've been playing with the options but nothing seems to be working.
https://github.com/Fullscreen/squid/blob/master/lib/squid/plotter.rb#L126 we might be able to set this disable_wrap_by_char: true as false
