LabelCollapseMode (Smart GWT EE API 14.0p (2026-01-20))

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<LabelCollapseMode>
- - com.smartgwt.client.types.LabelCollapseMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<LabelCollapseMode>
```
public enum LabelCollapseMode
extends java.lang.Enum<LabelCollapseMode>
implements ValueEnum
```
Strategy to apply when there is too little room for labels to be shown for all data points with comfortable padding (FacetChart.minLabelGap).

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`NONE` Show all labels regardless, even though they will overlap
`NUMERIC` Pick round numbers in the range and show labels for just those numbers.
`SAMPLE` Pick periodic values from the dataset and show labels for those.
`TIME` Show significant time values such as the first day of the month or week.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - NONE
```
public static final LabelCollapseMode NONE
```
    Show all labels regardless, even though they will overlap
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "none".
  - TIME
```
public static final LabelCollapseMode TIME
```
    Show significant time values such as the first day of the month or week. Data values in Records must be true Date objects, not Strings.
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "time".
  - NUMERIC
```
public static final LabelCollapseMode NUMERIC
```
    Pick round numbers in the range and show labels for just those numbers. Best for continuous datasets that are not time-based
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "numeric".
  - SAMPLE
```
public static final LabelCollapseMode SAMPLE
```
    Pick periodic values from the dataset and show labels for those. Best when the there are no particular points that would clearly be the best to label
    If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "sample".

  - values
```
public static LabelCollapseMode[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (LabelCollapseMode c : LabelCollapseMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static LabelCollapseMode valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.String getValue()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getValue in interface ValueEnum
