when you are creating the graphs x-axis at the bottom on the left hand side you will see a empty box with the name "custom label" whatever text you enter there will change the label on the X-Axis of the graph

i meant labels of individual items on the graph, so instead of all it would be "full" on the left and "hit" on the right

im not sure about how to do this but I know you can enter an invisible character with alt 0160 in the custom label section and it will show the spaces on the label
