Thanks Ely for the hack The pre-multiplying is straightforward and combined with adding <mx:LinearAxis minimum="-22" maximum="-1"/> gives me the chart I am looking for but the axis looks a bit tacky with all the negative numbers
However, I am having trouble appling a labelFunction Attempting to adapt the example in livedocs http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/00001287.html public function defineLabel(catName:String):String { return catName + " '04"; } getting an error Type Coersion failed: cannot convert 22 to String I have played around with bringing the data across both as a string and a number but cannot seem to get it right -even get the same error when brought in as number and replace string with number as to instances above e.g. public function makePositive(catName:Number):Number { return -1*catName; } Incidentally, do you know if therr are there plans to incorporate a reverse axis option in later releases or somewhere I could add it to a wish list --- In [email protected], "Ely Greenfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > No, the axes don't really support inversion. > > The easiest way would probably be: > > 1) pre-multiply your values by -1. > 2) put a labelFunction on your vertical AxisRenderer that multiplies the > label value by -1 to make it look like it's positive. > 3) if you want datatips, you'll have to add a dataTipFunction to do the > same. > > Ely. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of yaagcur > Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 9:24 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Reverse yaxis (FLEX 2) > Importance: High > > I want to do a chart which is a ranking of team's position (y axis) in a > league over time (x-axis). > I would like to reverse the y axis so that if a team is improving over > time (say from rank 4 to rank 2) the graph shows an upward movement > rather than the downward movement that results from a straight input of > the data Unsurprisngly, just having a lower maximum than minimum in the > LinearAxis does not do the trick Is this possible another way? > > > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
