Title on leftaxis overlaps labels using TBoxSeries

Hello,

When the leftaxis has decimals in it´s labels(i.e 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 etc) the title on the leftaxis overlaps the decimal values. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Best Regards,

Hi, Johan.

One workaround for this problem is to manually allocate left axis title and labels size. This can be done by using the following code:

Code: Select all

With Chart1.Axes.Left do
begin
  LabelsSize := 25; // 25px for axis labels
  TitleSize := 12; // 12px for axis title
end;

Excellent! One "sub" question concering left axis title, if I want to split the title in two rows because it´s to long. How can I do this? If I use the same procedure as with "main" title, this doesn´t work.

Best Regards,

Johan

Hi.

The following code might help:

Code: Select all

  Chart1.Axes.Left.Title.Caption := '1st line'+#13+'2nd line';

Of course, you'll have to increase the axis TitleSize to accomodate for multiple lines (see my first reply in this thread).
