ChartMan.

Thanks for your reply .
I have shared the screen-shot of the motion. I will like to show the complete attribute names on the chart since at the moment it is not showing the full name as it is in fusion table.

Sorry there is no way to control that section of the motion chart.

Have you checked whether the DataTable that comes from the fusion tables datasource contains the full name of the columns? I seem to remember there was a truncation issue where a DataTable coming out of Fusion Tables would contain truncated column labels (so the issue would be on fusion tables side and not on the motion chart). I never followed up so I'm not sure whether this is still the case.

Yes the data is coming from the fusion table. but if I load the same data to spreadsheet and generate a motin chart from it the labels arent truncated.

So it does indeed appear to be a truncation performed by Fusion Tables itself.

I did a quick search and it turns out it was already discussed in the fusion tables forum:
(the thread also contains some suggestions on how to work around the issue).

This is the opened issue on the bugtracker:
(star it to be notified of changes)

And this one describes a workaround:
