Left justified title

[rajan]

Hi

I create a chart like this:

final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createBarChart3D("MyDFS", "DFK", "DFX",defaultcategorydataset, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL, true, true,true);

When the chart is displayed the title MYDFS is at the top and center.
I want the title at the top however to the left.

Can you please let me know how to do it.

I tried:
chart.getTitle.setMargin(0,0,0,0)
but the title still shows at center.

Thanks
Rajan

TextTitle has parameters that let you change position, alignment and padding. You can experiment with differrent effects using setTitle().

I tried
Looks like I may need to use layouts which I am reading now.

It should be simple, instead of displaying title in center, I want to display to left. Looking from other API's in JFreeChart I am sure there is some way to do this in a simple way.

Any other suggestions.

Thanks

Code: Select all

chart.getTitle().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.LEFT);

[rajan]

This will bring the title to the left side of the chart.
I want title to remain on top but instead of being displayed in the center, I want it left on left side.

Ex: It show like this right now
|----------------------------------------------- MYDFS ------------------------------------------|

I want it like:
|MYDFS-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Thanks

HorizontalAlignment.LEFT, suggested by @paradoxoff, does exactly what you show. Using addSubtitle() is another convenient way to experiment with the myriad settings.

Sorry my mistake.
It works. (My build did not contain changes)
