Hi Paul, It is a contest between the quantity of information and legibility. You have 140 labels to place on the x-axis in your plot and I barely managed it by almost doubling the width of the plot, halving the size of the font and truncating the labels to a maximum of 20 characters. Unless you want to follow something like Google Maps, where the information springs up in a little balloon, you are close to the limits of a static display. That said, you are correct in saying that staxlab will cram a lot of information at the edges of a plot.
