User (Legacy) Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I am having problems placing annotations relative to the data point that I want to annotate. All examples seem to require exact XY coordinates for firm placement of an annotation, however I just want to simply add a 1cm arrow to a data point of interest with a simple text description automagically located in any free space that doesn't overwrite another series. For example, say I plotted a couple of years of share data for a given security and wanted to add an annotation when the share went ex-dividend. How would I find the XY coordinate of the data point with a matching date as the exdiv date and how would I know wether to place the annotation above, below, left or right of that data point so that I don't overwrite the series? Could you provide an example? Thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 You can use the Attach method to attach an annotation object to a logical X,Y value. The logical X,Y values refer to the coordinates of the point in the main X and Y axes. As for not overlapping other series/points, we do not provide such functionality, it seems to me that in a generic scenario there is no real solution for this problem. Depending on the data there might be no room for the arrow at all. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
