AnnotationText Border inset

[mcstoufer]

When adding an AnnotationText object with a colored border to a chart, I'm noticing that the text is anchored to the top-left portion of the border. Using the siteToFit() method does not fix this.

 I tried to change the alignment and the text still stays at the top of the bounding box.

 How do I add some padding around the text and the border?

I have attached an image to this post, so hopefully it shows up. (http://energyiq.lbl.gov/images/annotationText.tiff)

Hi mcstoufer

 

I was unable to reproduce the issue, I changed the StringAlignment and it is working fine for me.  I recommend you to contact our support service by mail.  Please notice that the image you add to current forum is not visible, please include it to your mail.

 Then why did Carlos ask for it to be supplied in the first place???

[AndreG]

When contacting support [at] softwarefx.com, we ask our users to provide us with their serial numbers. Never on the forums. I apologize for the confusion.

 Thank you for the clarification. I will make a note of this on my end for the next time this info is requested.
