Hi,

I'm attempting to create a custom label on an Axis but I am unable to format the label in any way. (Using Java for Android). For example:

chart.getAxes().getLeft().getLabels().getItems().clear();
for(int i = 0; i < chart.getAxes().getLeft().getMaximum()+2; i ++) {
chart.getAxes().getLeft().getLabels().getItems().add((double)i,i+"");
chart.getAxes().getLeft().getLabels().getItems().getItem(i).setColor(Color.WHITE); // NO EFFECT
}
chart.getAxes().getLeft().getLabels().getFont().setSize(13); // NO EFFECT
chart.getAxes().getLeft().getLabels().getFont().setColor(Color.WHITE);
chart.getAxes().getLeft().getLabels().getFont().setName("Arial");

The above creates the customer Label, But I am completely unable to set the font size, color, etc. It simply does not work. Everything remains at the default values.

What am I doing wrong?

thx.
Steven

Hi Steven,

It works fine for me here doing as in the the addCustomLabels below. Can you please check if it works fine at your end?

Code: Select all

    protected void addCustomLabels() {
        Axis axis = tChart1.getAxes().getLeft();
        AxisLabelsItems items = axis.getCustomLabels();
        //remove all custom labels
        items.clear();
        //add custom labels
        AxisLabelItem item;
        item = items.add(123.0, "Hello");
        item.getFont().setSize(16);
        item = items.add(466.0, "Good\nBye");
        item.setTransparent(false);
        items.add(300);
        item = items.add(-100);
        item.setTransparent(false);
        item.setTransparency(50);
        item.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    }

Thanks in advance.
