RE: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - column chart question

[Ely Greenfield]

Hi Robert. The problem is that there's not enough room on the axis to show all the labels, so the axis is dropping labels to make room. It drops labels from the bottom up, so the one on the top may or may not appear depending on the number and size of your labels. In this case, it's getting dropped.   One way I can think of to fix this would be to set the canDropLabels property on the verticalAxisRenderer to false. Unfortunately, you'll end up with more labels that will be scaled down to fit...But you'll get your zero axis.   If all you care about is getting the zero _line_ to appear (not the label), you could set the horizontalShowOrigin style of the GridLines class to true. That should get you an origin line.   GridLines {   horizontalShowOrigin: true; }   Ely.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Brueckmann Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 12:57 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 - column chart question I scoured the archives and APIs but couldn’t find anything to allow me to ensure that the zero vertical axis is ALWAYS shown.  I have a column chart who’s dataset contains all negatives and when the chart displays, the columns are suspended from nothing at the top of the chart…it’d be nice if they looked like they were coming from a vertical zero axis.  I’ve tried: <mx:verticalAxis>           <mx:LinearAxis baseAtZero="true" autoAdjust="true" /> </mx:verticalAxis> Based on what I found in the APIs, this alludes to doing what I want in the chart, but the zero vertical axis still does not appear.  Is there any way to ensure (FORCE) it will always be visible? This is what the chart looks like right now, for those with HTML email programs: See how the columns appear to be suspended from nothing?  I want the zero vertical axis to be visible to show that these are actually negative numbers…I mean, it’s pretty obvious when you look at the vertical labels but it would still be nice to have that extra visual aid… Any help would be greatly appreciated!
