  vertical y axis lables

is there a way to create labels that are vertical and not written horizontal?

my Y axis is comprised of time stamps that occur every minute. I have to consistently manipulate the data based on the length of time graphed to get rid of overlapping, but when I do that i have to take out data.

having the time stamps written vertically would be very beneficial.

Hi skirchoff,

Some of the sample charts included in ChartDirector contain vertical labels. An example is the "Trend Line Chart" sample code. (You may look for "Trend Line Chart" in the ChartDirector documentation index.)

The API to use is Axis.setLabelStyle. For example (in ColdFusion):

//Set font to Arial 8pt black rotated by 90 degrees
c.yAxis().setLabelStyle("Arial", 8, "0x000000", 90);

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan
