Marks Position

Luke · Post by **Luke** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 10:38 am

Is there anyway to make sure that Marks appear outside the chart area on a Radar Chart.

If I set marks multi line to true, the makr does not shift up on the top Mark. So the 2nd line of text appears in the chart.

Hi Luke,

The only solution I can think of is using custom marks position as shown here.

Not sure how easy it would be to implment this. As for some Marks the position is ok. It is only realy those on the top half of the Radar that need moving. Isnt this a bug. Shouldn't the marks appear outside the plot area?

I'm not sure about what the exact problem is here.

Could you please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You can either post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

serie.Add(0.9, "test radar 3 \n 2nd Line");
serie.Add(0.9, "test radar 3 \n 2nd Line");
serie.Brush.Color = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((System.Byte)(254)), ((System.Byte)(255)), ((System.Byte)(128)), ((System.Byte)(0)));

Hi Luke,

In that case you can easily solve your problem adding the line below to your code:

Code: Select all

			serie.LabelsMargin = 15;

Hope this helps!
