Problem with diappearing labels

[SidG]

Hi All,

I have a problem with a disappearing label. Initially, tPointSeries is used to display some data:



Then, the user chooses to change it to a bar chart, which invokes only this code:

ChangeAllSeriesType( Chart, TBarSeries );

However, the 4th X-axis label (ABC Chemical Ltd) disappears:



If ChangeAllSeriesType is then used to change it back to a Point series, the label re-appears, and it also appears if changed to a Line series.

Also, this problem is happening on two different PCs, but not on a third, where the label appears OK. So I'm guessing it's a video driver issue. Is there anything that can be done to resolve it (some property setting)? TIA!

Hi.

You might try the following things:
1) Decrease the separation between labels. This can be done by setting bottom axis LabelsSeparation property to small value (for example 2):

Code: Select all

tChart1.Axes.Bottom.LabelsSeparation := 2;

2) Another thing you might try is rotate axis labels 90deg anti-clockwise to allow more space for each label:

Code: Select all

tChart1.Axes.Bottom.LabelsAngle := 90;

3) Additionally, you can also experiment with multiline labels or enable the alternate labels:

Code: Select all

tChart1.Axes.Bottom.LabelsAlternate := true;

Using all these tricks you should be able to increase the number of pixels for individual axis label(s).

Thanks, LabelsSeparation did the trick. Interestingly, changing LabelsAngle didn't solve the problem, the angle changed but the label still disappeared!
