Re: [flexcoders] Re: Illegible axis labels
Maciek, just reload the page... a problem with the loaded xml stream which seems to be corrupted sometimes. Sunil, labelUnits is now based on the actual range of dates, which seems to prevent sytematic resizing, but resizing still occurs randomly... thanks anyway, thomas 2009/4/9 sunild99 > > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com , > "thomas.parquier" wrote: > > > > > Furthermore labels dont get staggered/rotated when canstagger="true" and > labelRotation="-45". > > The label rotation won't work unless the fonts are embedded. > > Another option would be to target Flash Player 10 and use a device font for > your labels.

The label rotation won't work unless the fonts are embedded. Another option would be to target Flash Player 10 and use a device font for your labels. Device fonts in Flash Player 10 can be faded, rotated, etc. Just a guess, but maybe it IS staggering your labels. Perhaps it's difficult to observe because the fonts are so small? Are you using a DateTimeAxis? Have you set any of the properties on DateTimeAxis like: dataUnits, dataInterval, labelUnits, interval, unitSize, padding, etc? Not saying any of those properties will address your problem, but not a bad place to start. Sunil

[flexcoders] Re: Illegible axis labels
Setting gutterBottom (in chart mxml tag) and height (in axisrenderer tag) keeps height of axisRenderer fixed (good) but labels still get resized... (http://web-attitude.fr/grapheur/grapheur.html, click on 'max' button on the left) Furthermore labels dont get staggered/rotated when canstagger="true" and labelRotation="-45". thomas --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "sunild99" wrote: > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Richard Rodseth" wrote: > > > > Is there any way to control how much space is devoted to the axis compared > > to the chart?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Illegible axis labels
In the case of gutterLeft, the increased gap is on the left of the axis title, which looks a little odd, unless I can compute it based on the size of the numbers on the axis, or at least as a percentage of the container size. It might be more fruitful to do a custom renderer to display 20 as 200K. But thanks for the tips.

You can use the gutter styles (gutterLeft, gutterRight, etc) to specify how much space is in between the chart and the edge of the chart control. Making your gutters bigger should allow more space for your axis labels. Sunil
