pass fontVariant to the axis label #1827
Conversation
|
This omission was somewhat intentional: the most common use of fontVariant is for tabular-nums with numeric or temporal ticks so that the numerals align across ticks. That need does not apply to the axis label, since there is only one label per axis and hence no need for the numerals to have the same width — and indeed we prefer not to have tabular-nums because numerals look better with the default variable width. Though, I guess it might be confusing if some of the font-related options apply to both the ticks and the label, but some don’t. We could have separate options (tickFontVariant, labelFontVariant, and tickFontSize, labelFontSize, etc.). Though maybe it’d be better to just have separate marks… though there we already have a tick mark that is something else too? 😭 |
