Is it possible to have textboxes (like axis labels) with a different shape than rectangular ?

Or do I need to use CDML and insert an image at one end ?

See attached image which I also need in a vertical orientation

Hi Maurice,

Apart from a rectangle, the only shape that a textbox can use is a rectangle with one or more rounded corners. It is possible to make the rectangle so that the left side is a semi-circle (using two rounded corners on that side, with the radius approximately equal to half the box height). However, if you need the left side to be pointed instead of rounded, I am worry the easiest method is to use CDML with an image.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Thanks for the suggestion, it's not an arrow but it's pretty close for me ;)
