text of y-axis overlaps sometimes

[russorat]

Not sure if this is the same as #79

When the y-axis is set to 0 - 7, it looks like this and the numbers overlap:

Setting the y-axis to 0 - 8, it looks much nicer:

As a user, I'd like the default settings to ensure that the text of the y-axis never overlaps.
As a user, I'd like the ability to define a "tick" or "step" in the graph config which says "Show a horizontal line every x". So setting it to .5 would show 0, .5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 etc and setting it to .1 would show 0, .1, .2, .3, .4, .5. In this case, if the user overrides the default, the text can overlap.

This issue has two disparate parts:

• a defect where the tick labels overlap on the vertical axis; simple

• a feature request where we give the user more control over the tick step on the value axis; more complex and is covered under Can't control tick generation #79

[TCL735]

A related consideration is that the vertical axis should not overlap the labels regardless of whether it is values or time that is displayed.

[TCL735]

In other words the labeling should not overlap when (x, y) = (time, value) or (x, y) = (value, time).

Also applies to x-axis.

Might be related. Sometimes the Y-axis cuts-off values that are too long:
