Hi icm63,

Would you mind to inform me how do you add the labels? The charting part of the code would be useful.

If the labels were added as y-axis labels (eg. using Axis.setLabels, Axis.addLabel, Axis.addMark, Axis.setLinearScale or Axis.setLinearScale2), they should stay on top of the plot area instead of under it.

Regards
Peter Kwan

Hi icm63,

I see now that the chart is drawn as a 3D scatter chart, but with the 3D region depth being 0. This probably is the cause of the problem, as ChartDirector may not be able to determine the orientation of a zero height wall.

For your case, as the chart is 2D in nature, it seems more natural to use the XYChart instead. If you must use a 3D chart, please set the depth to 1 instead of 0. ChartDirector should then be able to determine the orientation of the wall and put the labels on the "outside" of the wall.

Regards
Peter Kwan
