User (Legacy) Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 I've got a question regarding the PointLabelMask property. The chart that I'm trying to emulate (originally created in Excel) looks as attached. Can I set the PointLabelMask property separately for each bar in this chart? For instance, I need the first bar in the 0-50 series to read "12/12" and first bar in the 51-100 series to read "35/35". The values of both of these points is 1 but I need a different label other than the value "1.0". Secondly, the second bar in both of the series, the one reading 0.825 and 0.936, respectively, comes out as 0.8 and 0.9 in my ChartFX chart. What property do I use to format the numbers of the point labels? I need to set it to 0.000.

Software FX Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 The only way to achieve this level of customization is by trapping the GetPointLabel event, this can only work using the Client ActiveX component. If you are generating images, this approach won't work. Another option is to create annotation objects. We have added new functionality in Chart FX 6.0 (currently in BETA) to assign custom data to points and display it as a point label. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted April 1, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2002 Thanks for your reply. I accept that I cannot add the customization this chart requires regarding the point label. However, what about formatting the value in the point label to three digits after the decimal point? Can I do this? Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 The point label will be formatted according to the Y-Axis formatting, so if you set your Y-Axis to have 3 decimals, you will also get 3 decimals in the point labels. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
