How can I make numeric Y-Axis labels both Aligned ".Far" and also left-aligned

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I have a chart with a numeric Y Axis that is aligned on the right side of 

the chart's display area.

I want the numberic Y Axis labels to actually be left aligned instead of 

right aligned like most numeric Y Axis labels are, so that all numbers' 

first digits are printed only a few millimeters away from the chart area.  I 

don't want ANY padding between the numbers and the chart area.

How can I do this?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Y-Axis labels are always right-aligned. Can you describe a situation where 

left-align labels are required ?

Oftentimes, stock market charting applications put the prices on the right 

side of the chart, but left aligned, so that the Y-Axis labels print up 

against the chart like:

125

124.9995

124.999

124.9985

...

...

...

124

That way, a stock broker can look at the last tick (which is always on the 

far right of the chart) and the label only a few millimeters next to it 

without any eye strain or eye movement.  It is very important for the 

printed Y-Axis label to be the smallest number of millimeters away from the 

last tick.  Also, stock brokers like to see even prices like 125 without any 

decimals, even if the label beneath it is 124.9995.  When numbers are right 

aligned on the right side of the graph, the "125" is printed too far away 

from the chart area.

Any suggestions on how I can do this?

Even if there is no way to print labels left aligned, could you at least 

tell me how to take out any additional padding between the lY-Axis labels 

and the chart area?

Thanks,

How about a label that is 100 followed by one that is 99 ?

How should it be displayed ? Like this:

100

99

or like this:

100

  99

?

There is a minimum distance between the labels and the axis line. This 

distance is just a couple of pixels.

Hi,

I would like 100 and 99 to print left aligned, like this:

100

99

It may sound funny but this is what some stock market graphing applications 

do and I really want to emulate the industry standard.

So how can I do this?

Thanks,

Brook

Currently, this is not possible. I was asking all these questions to 

determine whether to include this as a feature request.

I will put it in as a request, at first glance, this seems easy to implement 

and not affecting a lot of code so it has a good chance of making it to the 

next SP.

Follow up. We have added a new style in the AxisStyle enumeration that 

allows you to have left aligned labels in vertical axes.

Please contact Software FX support for a hotfix or wait for the next Service 

Pack.

Awesome.  Now THAT´s real support.  I will wait for the Service Pack.

Francisco, your answers to my forum posts over the last few months have been 

a real life saver for me.  It is support like this that will make it easy 

for me to convince my boss to purchase the Chart FX extensions.

Thanks again for everything.
