The setDataTextPosition(#) sets the position of the values used in a stacked bar chart, 5:top/left and 2: above/right, for all series. However, I need to be able too see all the values of the bars. NOTE that the HIVAL for Italy is only visible if I change setScaleMax(getY1Axis(),975.0); to 990 [975 is the max of HIVALs]. The LOVAL for Japan is not visible. Here's the code (Using the CAR file):

ENGINE INT CACHE SET ON
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_UNITS='PIXELS';
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_HEIGHT='405.0';
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_WIDTH='770.0';

Doug,

Please delete the first 5 lines of code, which we do not need to see

Not much you can do with this (I think).

Use developer tools to view what is created and you'll see that these data labels are not even created within the output.

You might be able to force these elements using JavaScript yourself, but that might be tricky.

If you can see the HIVAL text when pushing the maximum axis value to 990, what about forcing the minimum axis value to be negative?

They're just displayed, or not, with options under Series / Data Labels. So I played around with that. But, it's for all series and, imho, should be series selectable. But, then again, if the values need to with within the bar segment, that won't do either. So perplexing ...

I did think of that... But, it doesn't work as it's still "right justified" and doesn't fit within the actual bar / value series.

I'm not sure how tricky I want to get on this. The values do show when you hoover over the bars, narrow or wide.

I think that the issue is less related to the scaling then the font used for the data label AND the window's size.

By using a smallest font, the data label are seen in a much smaller window.

setFontSizeInPoints(getDataText(),8);

Instead of

setFontSizeInPoints(getDataText(),18);

The window size have a great impact on label visibility and playing with the size, the labels are shown or not.
But a font at 18, may be too large...

I considered using setFontSizeInPoints(getDataText(),8);, but, this needs to be display on a laptop with a 1366x768 display, making 8 pt too small for the user . Thanks anyway .

Actually, that does work for "COUNTRY", but, I neglected to add that my bar titles are A48, such as "856 Received < Partial Shipment : 013"

To see this, change the following sections of the code as follows:

...

DEFINE FILE CAR
MyTitle/A38=DECODE COUNTRY ( 'ENGLAND' 'Item 1 for England with more info: 013' 'ITALY' 'Italy 67890123456789012345678901234567' 'FRANCE' 'France 7890123456789012345678901234567' 'JAPAN' 'Japan 67890123456789012345678901234567' 'W GERMANY' 'W Germany 0123456789012345678901234567' ) ;

Not to challenge you Doug, I know that sometime users may be picky, but at least getDataText(),10) is not that bad. I have a 1920x1080 laptop and it's farely readable. At 1366x768 it is even bigger.
Do you also plan to change the axis font to 18 because actually, you kept them as the default 10 ?

Personally, I don't know how it could be possible to manage every single screen resolution. Even with a default recommended screen resolution, a user can decide to change it to a lowest one.
So, normally I build a default format suitable for most of the screens then unfortunately nothing more I can do .

No matter the font size you will use, when resizing the output window, some data will be hidden...

Thanks Martin, I totally agree. I'm not challenged or offended by your comments at all. "We" just decided to accommodate the 1366x768 as our standard with the caveat that "It may not be a perfect fit for other screen resolutions.". We have not even considered tablets or smart phones yet.

I am going to present the font size of 6 for not and hope that they can live with it considering that they can hoover over the bars, as long as the are GT 0, to see the actual values.

Thanks again Tony and Martin
