Hi there,

Is there any way of having a background shadow on label text ? - See attached example from another charting tool.

Hi Ade,

Unluckily, ChartDirector cannot produce a "text shadow" like in your image. Instead, it can provide a background color for the text. The background color can be semi-transparent and can have rounded corners. When the code adds or configures the label, the API usually return a TextBox object. The Box.setBackground and Box.setRoundedCorners can then be used to configure the text background.
