"I have been trying to perform SEM analysis, but I encounter a problem when producing the path diagram: the labels are unreadable and everything is superimposed, including the coefficients. SEM-wrong path diagram

Expected Behaviour

I would like it to be solved - I tried modifyin the R code in JASP but it didn't work either.

Steps to Reproduce

Produce the PATH DIAGRAM under the Output options label.

Did you try changing its size via the triangle on the lower right of each plot?

Yes, @tomtomme, I did. But it didn't work either.

Confirmed also for 0.19 beta flatpak. The problem: If I change size of the path plot numbers also change size, not only the shapes.

@juliuspfadt To fix this we may need a) a way to fix or to alter the font size in the GUI OR b) an algorithm that detects when fonts overlap and places them differently. We have something for this for boxplots. When a boxplot has many outliers, the row numbers get placed so that they do not overlap most of the time.

Other suggestions from duplicate #680:

Reduce the font size and eliminate the integer digit (.34 instead of 0.34).
Lower the position of the coefficients closer to indicators.

Good suggestion. However I doubt this will be fixable on our end. The plot is entirely based on semPlot which is producing plots that are not as nicely scalable as plots produced with ggplot. I think there is not R-package that produces nice looking sem plots to be honest.

if @vandenman can back me up, we can close this as not fixable on our end.
