Hi Peter,

Is it possible to add a couple of side-by-side tables of information to the chart title (two boxes just below the ?Main Chart Title?)? I would like the layout to look similar to the included example.
(I use Java)

Thank you,
Eva

Hi Eva,

By using BaseChart.addText to add custom text boxes, and use CDML to format the text, it should be possible to achieve what you need. A short example is like:

//add normal title
ChartDirector.TextBox t = c.addTitle("Annual Revenue for Star Tech", "Times New Roman Bold Italic", 18);

//add the left box below
int boxWidth = c.getWidth() / 2 - 4;
int margin = 10;

ChartDirector.TextBox b = c.addText(0, t.getHeight() + 4,
"<*block,width=" + (boxWidth - margin * 2) + ",halign=center*><*font=Arial Bold,size=14,color=FF0000*>Title 1<*/font*><*/*><*br*>Text 2<*br*>Text 3");
b.setSize(boxWidth, 0);
b.setBackground(Transparent, 0x888888);
b.setMargin2(margin, margin, margin, margin);

Hope this can help.

Regards
