  Layer order

Is there a way to move a symbol in front of the chart axis?  I tried moving the scatter
layer using moveFront(), but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

Hi Catherine,

The axis always stays in front of all data layers. So if the symbol comes from a scatter or line layer or other kind of data layers, it will always be behind the axis.

The sample code included in ChartDirector includes a few examples in which the symbols are not behind the axis. May be you can use them as references. For example, you can configure the axis stem to be transparent. See:

You may also configure a margin equal to half the symbol width, so that the symbol will not overlap with the axis. See:

Hope this can help.
