 XY chart left axis text alignment. How do you change it? |

I've been trying to get the text aligned correctly, but cannot seem to do it.
The attached image shows the problem.
If I use the following code, the text is in the correct place to the left of the graph, but right aligned (top graph).
TextBox *pBox = c->yAxis()->setTitle(m_strAxisTitleYLeft, m_pfont_AxisLabels->GetFaceName(), m_pfont_AxisLabels->GetPointSize() * scale);
pBox->setAlignment(Chart::Left);
If I use this, the text is correctly aligned, but not where I want it.
TextBox *pBox = c->yAxis()->setTitle(m_strAxisTitleYLeft, m_pfont_AxisLabels->GetFaceName(), m_pfont_AxisLabels->GetPointSize() * scale);
pBox->setAlignment(Chart::Center);
I'm sure I'm missing another call somewhere, but I cannot find it in the help.
Thanks in advance,
Tony.

Hi TonyVSUK,
Try adding "<*block,halign=center*>" before the title text, like:
c->yAxis()->setTitle((
(std::string("<*block,halign=center*>") + m_strAxisTitleYLeft).c_str(),
m_pfont_AxisLabels->GetFaceName(), m_pfont_AxisLabels->GetPointSize() * scale);
Most of the visual text in ChartDirector supports a the "ChartDirector Mark Up Language". See:
https://www.advsofteng.com/doc/cdcpp.htm#cdml.htm
By prepending the "<*block,halign=center*>", the entire title text becomes a single "block". The text is center aligned inside the block. The setTitle API uses the block as the title, and put it to the left of the axis (the default).
