Does anyone have sample code to flip the data values inside a bar from horizaontal to vertical?

There is a method to rotate the angle of data values called setTextRotation (IdentObj id, int newValue);, where IdentObj id is the text object which would be rotated, in this case getDataText(). Values for int newValue range from 0 to 2, where 0 is horizontal text rotation, 1 is vertical bottom-to-top and 2 is vertical top-to-bottom.

Here is the sample code:

setDisplay(getDataText(),true);
setTextRotation(getDataText(),2);

You can also control the position of data text relative to the bar with the following method setDataTextFormatPattern (int newValue); , where newValue ranges from 0 to 5; 0 is custom position defined by angle and radius methods (setDataTextAngleDefault(int newValue); and setDataTextRadiusDefault(int newValue); ), 1 is above risers, 2 is Center on riser top edge, 3 is below riser top edge, 4 is center of riser, and 5 is Base of riser.

Note that for custom positioning, there is also a way to set Angle and Radius for individual series using setDataTextAngle (int seriesID, int groupID, int newValue); and setDataTextRadius (int seriesID, int groupID, int newValue);

Thanks, that worked great until I got to a graph were I'm using setDataTextFormat(1)which seems to override the [B}setDisplay(getDataText(),true); setTextRotation(getDataText(),2);[/B]

Hi,
setDataTextFormat(n); is used to select one of the preset data text formats. It should not override Text Rotation method (setTextRotation(getDataText(),n);).

I worked with an example where I used setDataTextFormat(1); along with (setTextRotation(getDataText(),2); and was able to rotate Data Values vertically. Perhaps there are some other settings that are interfering with these methods? If you are still having problems, you can contact me directly at Vicky_Lozovsky@ibi.com and I can look at your GRAPH request closer to make any further suggestions.

Also I forgot to mention earlier that you can also rotate Data Values on a 45 degree angle using setTextRotation(getDataText(),3);.

hello... I tried the same thing.... I have 2 bars on my graph... when I added setdatatextformat(n) it overrode my second bar rotation. When I comment the new line out my second bar rotation returns....


Version of Webfocus = 766
Platform = Windows
wish to use all possible output formats.
