User (Legacy) Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I am creating a series of dashboards and space is prime. I would like to place a label inside of the chart area that describes what is in the chart. I cannot find any options for this and a standard label will not show up on my charts. Is it possible? Thanks. -Dan Attachments.zip Attachments.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Do you mean the series legends ? You want the series legends to appear in the chart itself ? Where ? Can you attach a picture that describes what you want. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I actually found the annotation object which allowed me to do what I needed. I do have some follow-up questions. Is it possible to have the background of the annotation label be partially transparent (have color, but be able to see through it)? While looking for a solution I also explored the option of using a title, but with that solution I ran into a problem where I could not find an automatic word-wrap for really long titles. I did it manually, but I was wondering if there is an option to do this for me. I have included a picture of this below that shows the annotation label box and the title description. Also, now that you mention it, having the series legend in the chart itself may be useful, is that an option? Thanks. -Dan "SoftwareFX Support" <noreply@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:BApf$TVkEHA.3888@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > Do you mean the series legends ?

Yes. The annotation object will take any colors, including colors with an alpha component. For example: Color.FromARgb(128,255,0,0); > While looking for a solution I also explored the option of using a title, > ... Titles are single-line only. > Also, now that you mention it, having the series legend in the chart > itself > may be useful, is that an option? Thanks. The series legend takes up space. However, you can put those labels anywhere you want as you did with this title, using annotation objects. It all depends on what do you want to get. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
