Is there a way to create a table that is unlinked from the Axis labels?

I am creating a program to view electricity usage and want to show the dollar amounts on the chart. Currently I have the labels below the winChartViewer  as shown. I would like the table in Chart Director so that I can save everything in one image file.

The only way I see to make a table is to use makeTableFromLabels() which is not what I want to do.

I tried just creating a new table, but there is no constructor available to me.

Hi KeithB,

You can use BaseChart.addTable to add a table to anywhere you like.

https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcppdoc/BaseChart.addTable.htm

This API will return a CDMLTable object. You can use the methods of this object to add content to the cells and to configure the display style.

https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcppdoc/CDMLTable.htm

The sample code that comes with ChartDirector contains examples on how to configure the column width, text style, cell background color, ...

Best Regards

Ah! addTable(). I was looking for table(), or getTable(). I will add "add" to the list of things to search for in the docs!
