I have been searching all morning for this and I can't figure it out. I have a bar graph with 2 values for each region or division (may vary). If I use setPlace(false); instead of setPlace(true); I can control the font size for my labels, but my graph no longer fills the screen and my labels overlay my legend and my title. I can move the legend, but I haven't been successful at resizing or repositioning my graph. What should I be searching for?

Pat,

Can you give an example based on the car or other IB source.

It's all in the API especially as you're 5.3.2

Hi Pat,

Play around with these:

ON GRAPH SET HAXIS 720
ON GRAPH SET VAXIS 300

Tom

This is as close as I can come, try changing setPlace(false); to setPlace(true); and you will see what I mean.

Thanks Tom. That's exactly what I needed.
