Display Label?

DClark · Post by **DClark** » Thu Jul 29, 2004 2:49 pm

What is the purpose of the 'AXLabel' parameter, for example:

series->AddXY(x, y, "Label", clTeeColor);

I cannot figure out how to get the "Label" text to display along with the point, using a TLineSeries, TeeChart Pro 5.03 and BCB 6 Enterprise.

Thanks.

Hi Dean,

setting the labels in the AddXY method should be showed automatically on the XAxis, but just to make sure, set the XLabels Style to talText :
Chart1->BottomAxis->LabelStyle=talText;

I'm sorry, I wasn't being clear. I want to display the value of (some of the) plot points next to the point itself, not on the axis. I have tried using Marks but that seems to be an all or nothing proposition.

Of course I can write my own code to display text next to certain points, but it seems such a simple and common thing, I assumed there would be something straightforward built into TeeChart to do it. I just haven't been able to find it yet.

Thanks again.

Hi Dean,

ok, in this case, if you want to show the Point Values next to it you can use the Marks setting the style to the marks :
Series1.Marks.Visible := true;
Series1.Marks.Style := smsValue;

And also you can customize them (shape, text,...).
Also, if you want to change the Mark text you can use the OnMarkText event

Also, there're another ways to acomplish this, like using Annotation tools or simply adding text using the Canvas techniques.
