Hi Tim. yes, the AxisRenderer supports a property called 'labelRenderer' which is very much like an item renderer. Pass the AxisRenderer a reference to a class (wrapped in a classFactory, just as with itemRenderers) that extends UIComponent, ProgrammaticSkin, or one of the existing Flex components, and implements the IDataRenderer interface. The AxisRenderer will instantiate one of these for each label it needs to show, and assign the label to the labelRenderer's 'data' property. I don't think there are any examples out there of how to do this today. Ely. p.s. You could also consider writing a custom axisRenderer...there's a pretty exhaustive example of how to do that in the Interactive Bubble Chart on my blog, http://www.quietlyscheming.com/. You could theoretically create two axis renderers that stack on the left hand side that way, although that's a pretty big undertaking. ________________________________

Hi Ely, I got this far with wordwrapping the label text, but my question is more complicated. I want to have two verticalAxisRenderers, side-by- side, on the same side of a ColumnChart. Or, create a single LabelRenderer to simulate this. One of the labels needs a shaded background with text, while the other is just text. While digging into it, the docs say to use IFactory for a chart LabelRenderer. Is this similar to an ItemRenderer for a DataGrid? Understandably, there aren't any examples yet that show how to do this. If you have the time, thanks, -TH --- In [email protected], "Ely Greenfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi Patrick.
