RE: [flexcoders] axis label rotation

[Ely Greenfield]

 

 

Flex will determine the most appropriate angle given the number, size, and spacing of the labels and the size available to the chart.  But you can set an explicit value if you know you want a specific rotation, regardless of size etc.  If Jeff's suggestion got your angles rendering, then you can explicitly set the labelRotation (I think that's what it's called, but it's something with the word rotation in it...you can find it in the docs) property on the axisRenderer to whatever degree value you want.

 

Ely.

This may sound goofy.  Try increasing the number of entries across the horizontal axis.

 

I have an app that angles the names of people across the bottom axis, but only after I reach a certain number of people.  If you can, try doing that and see if it does angle the entries.

The syntax looks correct. What OS are you on? Have you tried another font? Can you attach a screenshot of what you see?

 

Thanks!

At 02:23 PM 2/10/2005, you wrote:

Try setting canStagger="false" and canDropLabels="false" on the
horizontalAxisRenderer. Do they rotate now? If not, you can directly set
labelRotation on the horizontalAxisRenderer to "45" or something and it will
force a rotation on the labels.

Hi Susan -

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them all, still doesn't work. I wonder if it's the font embedding that's not working correctly.

In a style tag, I've set it up as follows:

    @font-face {
                font-family: chartLabelFont;
        src: local("Arial");
    }

    ColumnChart {
                font-family: chartLabelFont;
                gridLinesStyle: vBarGridlines;
                verticalAxisStyle: linedNumericAxis;
                horizontalAxisStyle: hangingCategoryAxis;
    }

Can you seen any problem there - or do you have any other suggestions?
