Research direction

Reproduce the report using the supplied renderPlotly example, focusing on ggplotly(plot1) and the layout xaxis settings. Check how scale_x_date(date_breaks = "1 month") and dynamicTicks affect the rendered x-axis labels. Done means the intended month labels are visible at normal zoom while the interactive chart remains usable.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Unable to show all the months , Its skipping one month after the other, the months are present but not visible until you zoom in.
What needs to be done here

Capture

` output$TP1 <- renderPlotly({
df_plot <- filtered_data()

# Ensure the 'date' column is of Date type
df_plot$date <- as.Date(df_plot$date)

# Set font size
base_size <- 15

# Custom label function to split month and year onto separate lines
library(scales)
custom_date_label <- function(x) {
  format(x, "%b\n%Y")
}

# Plot 1: Month vs Interest Coverage Ratio
plot1 <- ggplot(df_plot, aes(x = date, y = interest_coverage_ratio_ttm, group = 1)) +
  geom_line(color = "red", size = 1) +
  labs(title = "Month vs Interest Coverage Ratio", x = "Date", y = "Interest Coverage Ratio") +
  theme_minimal(base_size = base_size) +
  theme(
    axis.text.x = element_text(size = 8, angle = 0, hjust = 0.5),  # Reduce size of x-axis labels
    panel.spacing = unit(2, "lines")
  ) +
  scale_x_date(labels = custom_date_label, date_breaks = "1 month")  # Custom label formatting

# Convert ggplot objects to plotly objects for interactive tooltips
ggplotly(plot1, dynamicTicks = TRUE) %>%
  layout(
    xaxis = list(
      tickformat = "%b\n%Y"  # Format the tooltips as month and year on separate lines
    )
  )

})`
