5. If you select a specific angle from the X-Axis Label Angle list, such as 30, 45, 60, or 90, the axis labels will be truncated and inclined according to the selected angle. Additionally, the Truncate option is selected by default.

6. To wrap the axis labels without overlapping, select the 0-degree angle.
