Hi, I am trying to show a title on the y axis but when i try to show it , it is cut by the graph.

Here you have the code:

$m = new FinanceChart($width);
$m->setPlotAreaStyle(0xFFFFFF, 0xdddddd, 0xCCCCCC, 0xCCCCCC, 0xCCCCCC);
$m->setData($timeStamps, $highData, $lowData, $openData, $closeData, $volData,
$extraPoints);

$m->addPlotAreaTitle(TopLeft, $tickerKey);

$m->setAxisOnRight(false);
$myMainChart = $m->addMainChart($mainHeight);

$myMainChart->yAxis()->setTitle("Price (p)");

Attached you have the graph.

as you can see the title is there but is cut :(

thanks in advance

Hi oplaza,

By default, the FinanceChart only reserves 40 pixels of margin on the left and right sides. If you need to add a title, you may need to increase the margin using FinanceChart.setMargins. For example:

$m->setMargins(70, 30, 40, 30);

Hope this can help.

Peter,

is there any way to draw margins between indicators?

or is there any setMargins function for XYCharts?

thanks

Hi oplaza,

For the documentation on FinanceChart.setMargins, you may go to the ChartDirector documention index, and look for "FinanceChart.setMargins".

To get a list of all FinanceChart methods, please to the ChartDirector documention index, and look for "FinanceChart". This will lead to a page that contains a table with all the FinanceChart methods.

For the "margins between indicators", I assume you are referring to the gap between the two indicator charts. It is configurable using FinanceChart.setPlotAreaBorder. For example:

$m->setPlotAreaBorder(0x888888, 5);

Hope this can help.

Hi oplaza,

For the x-axis labels, each added indicator chart will automatically disable the x-axis label of the previous chart by setting their colors to transparent. That's why only the last added indicator chart has x-axis labels.

To show x-axis labels for all indicator charts, you may store all the indicator charts you have added, and then after you have added all the indicator charts, you may set all their x-axis label color to black.

The code is like:

#store the added chart to allCharts
$allCharts[] = $c->addMainChart();

....

#store the added chart to allCharts$allCharts[] = $c->addSlowStochastic(75, 14, 3, 0x006060, 0x606000);

#store the added chart to allCharts
$allCharts[] = $c->addMACD(75, 26, 12, 9, 0x0000ff, 0xff00ff, 0x008000);

....

#set all x-axis labels to black
foreach ($allCharts as $a) $a->xAxis->setColors(0x000000, 0x000000);

Hope this can help.
