Data Driven Labels

[User (Legacy)]

Hi

I have recently upgrade to ChartFX 6.2. I was told that data driven labels

were available in 6.2 and that they could help me solve the problem I am

having below.

How does a data driven label work and how would I set the following:

chart.DataType.Item(0) = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.DataType.???????

thanks

I am trying to created a bar chart and assign Date/Time information to the

Xaxis so that I can modify it at a later using the Javascript below. The

VB.NET code below works fine if the chart is a line graph however when I set

it to a bar graph I end up with the dates starting at 1900-01-01. If however

I set the DataType to a Label the dates show up fine in the Bar chart

however, I can't modify them with my Javascript.

I need correct dates on a bar graph and the ability to modify them later.

VB.NET CODE

chart.DataType.Item(0) = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.DataType.XValue   'Date time

values

chart.DataType.Item(1) = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.DataType.Value     'Data values

chart.Gallery = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Gallery.Bar

chart.SerLegBox = False

createCopyrightTitle(chart)

configureAxisY("m3", SoftwareFX.ChartFX.AxisFormat.Number, 0, chart)

configureAxisX("Date", SoftwareFX.ChartFX.AxisFormat.Date, "yyyy-MM-dd",

chart)

JAVASCRIPT

profile.Chart.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = 8;

profile.Chart.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm";

adjustLeftGap(true);

[Software FX]

chart.DataType.Item(0) = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.DataType.XValue

Which is the default, so you can in fact remove this line.

Data-driven labels will kicks in when using a chart type that is NOT an X/Y 

chart (e.g. Bars) but yet X-Values are provided.
