User (Legacy) Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 New here, evaluating the software. Is there any way to define a label specific to a given marker? Similar to the following doctered image? (see markers 2-5 reference "My label 1 and My label 2") I tried using PointLabelMask but it applies it to all items in the series I would like to apply unique labels for each marker if possible any ideas? Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Use PintLabelMask so that each point displays its "tag" followed by its value: chart1.PointLabelMask = "%L\n%v"; Assign the Tag property only for those points that you want to display a label for: chart1.Point[0].Tag = "My Label 1"; chart1.Point[1].Tag = "My Label 2"; Then simply turn PointLabels on and voila ! -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 In VB.NET I tried the following on a SoftwareFX.ChartFX.GalleryObj.Bar chart to try to get the tags to display at the %L location in the PointLabelMask: Chart1.Point(0, 3).Tag = "My Label3" Dim maskString As String = "I'm point: " + "%N " + " my value is: " + "%v" + " my Tag is: " + "%L" Chart1.PointLabelMask = maskString Chart1.PointLabels = True But the tag did not show up when the chart is displayed...

Software FX Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 I pasted this code in a brand new VB.NET Project with a default chart in it and it works perfectly. You must be doing something else that is overriding these settings. Also, your strings are quite long could it be that the text is being covered by some other object ? Also, make sure you are using the latest SP. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply.. just tried the same and it does work in a new project.. I will remember to try this before bugging you the next time.. Later I will also go back to try to determine the cause of the tags not working, or what I overrode to cause this anomoly.

User (Legacy) Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Ok.. displaying the tag worked with just the pasted code... See pt3(My Label-3) This is a negative bar chart. I then re-introduced conditionals to change the colors of the bars in the new project that succesfully displayed the tag, and at this point the tag disapeared.Am I doing something wrong? My code to reproduce: '********* CODE BEGIN********** Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim condition1 As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributes = Chart1.ConditionalAttributes(0) condition1.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Green condition1.Condition.To = 0.5 condition1.Condition.From = 0 condition1.Condition.ToOpen = True Dim condition2 As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributes = Chart1.ConditionalAttributes(1) condition2.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Green condition2.Condition.To = 0 condition2.Condition.From = -0.5 condition2.Condition.ToOpen = True Dim condition3 As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributes = Chart1.ConditionalAttributes(2) condition3.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Orange condition3.Condition.To = 0.75 condition3.Condition.From = 0.5 condition3.Condition.ToOpen = True Dim condition4 As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributes = Chart1.ConditionalAttributes(3) condition4.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Orange condition4.Condition.To = -0.5 condition4.Condition.From = -0.75 condition4.Condition.ToOpen = True Dim condition5 As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributes = Chart1.ConditionalAttributes(4) condition5.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red condition5.Condition.To = 1 condition5.Condition.From = 0.75 condition5.Condition.ToOpen = True Dim condition6 As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributes = Chart1.ConditionalAttributes(5) condition6.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red condition6.Condition.To = -0.75 condition6.Condition.From = -1 condition6.Condition.ToOpen = True ' Set TAG Chart1.Point(0, 3).Tag = "My Label-3" Dim maskString As String = "%v" + " " + "%L" Chart1.PointLabelMask = maskString Chart1.PointLabels = True End Sub '********* CODE END********** Result after conditionals(NO TAG DISPLAYED): My data set "negative.txt" .0013 .45 .80 -.21 .70 -.56 -.14 .67 .98 .43 -.13 -.70 .56 .70 -.45 -.32 "SoftwareFX Support" <noreply@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:Lrnw1u18EHA.1116@webserver3.softwarefx.com...

User (Legacy) Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 OK... With further investigation it looks as if a conditional tag is required but it appears to override any point tag even if set after the conditional. Conditional Attributes dont include the Point method to set the point tag directly either... hmmm... Any Ideas?

Software FX Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Conditional attributes work by setting the per-point attributes. What you have here is a conflict. On one side you have a conditional attribute that is being applied to the point that has NO tag. And then you have a Per-Point attribute for the SAME point that does. This is a contradiction and then what Chart FX does is use the conditional attribute. In other words, when conditional attributes are used, per-point attributes are reset. This is by design. What you need to do is put the tag in a conditional attribute that applies to that point only. You can do this by using the ConditionalAttributes event handler. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 FP, Chart1.ConditionalAttributes.point is not supported.. is this what you are referring to when you state "put the tag in a conditional attribute that applies to that point only"? If there is something else could you please provide an example.. many thanks in advance. Scott What you need to do is put the tag in a conditional attribute that applies to that point only.

Software FX Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 What I meant was to use a Conditional attribute that applies only to the point you want to label. This conditional attribute has the appropriate Tag set. For example lets say the Conditional attribute you want to use is #3. chart.ConditionalAttributes[3].Tag = "MyLabel1"; Then you capture the ConditionalAttributesCallback event as follows: private void chart1_ConditionalAttributesCallback(object sender, SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ConditionalAttributesEventArgs e) { if (e.Point == <Point to label>) e.Attributes = 3; } Please refer to the docs. for more information about this event an how Conditional attributes work. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
