Text get cut

jfreeuser2006 · Post by **jfreeuser2006** » Thu May 03, 2007 10:55 am

Hi,

Text that exceed the plot area get cut in v1.0.5. This is not the case with
v1.0.0.

How can I show the complete text that label the lines in the graph?

Thanks in advance. :-)

Please post a small self-contained demo app that reproduces the problem.

Hi Dave,

Sorry wasn't able to get back to you at once.

Here is the code that i have come up.

Code: Select all

public class LineChartDemo extends ApplicationFrame {

    public LineChartDemo(final String title) {
        super(title);
        final CategoryDataset dataset = createDataset();
        final JFreeChart chart = createChart(dataset);

        final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createLineChart(
            "Line Chart Demo",       // chart title

            false                      // urls
        );

        chart.setBackgroundPaint(Color.white);

        final LineAndShapeRenderer renderer = (LineAndShapeRenderer) plot.getRenderer();

        renderer.setStroke(new BasicStroke(
                2.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_ROUND, BasicStroke.JOIN_ROUND,
                1.0f, new float[] {10.0f, 6.0f}, 0.0f
            )
        );
        
        plot.getRangeAxis().setUpperBound(8.0);
        plot.getDomainAxis().setUpperMargin(0.0);
        
        Font font = new Font("Courier New", Font.BOLD, 12);
        
        Marker marker = new ValueMarker(0.0);
        marker.setStroke(new BasicStroke());
        marker.setPaint(Color.BLUE);
        marker.setLabelFont(font);
        marker.setLabel("Marker Test");
        marker.setLabelAnchor(RectangleAnchor.BOTTOM_RIGHT);
        marker.setLabelTextAnchor(TextAnchor.BASELINE_RIGHT);
        
        plot.addRangeMarker(marker);
        int categorysize = plot.getCategories().size();
        String categoryName = (String)plot.getCategories().get(categorysize-1);plot.getCategories().get(categorysize-2);
        
        CategoryTextAnnotation annotation = new CategoryTextAnnotation("Annotation", categoryName, 8.0);
        annotation.setFont(font);
        annotation.setTextAnchor(TextAnchor.CENTER_LEFT); 
        annotation.setCategoryAnchor(CategoryAnchor.START);
        
        plot.addAnnotation(annotation);

        
        return chart;
    }
    
    public static void main(final String[] args) {

        final LineChartDemo demo = new LineChartDemo("Line Chart Demo");
        demo.pack();
        RefineryUtilities.centerFrameOnScreen(demo);
        demo.setVisible(true);

    }

}

Here is the image of the chart that is produced:

The annotation at the top right and the value marker at the bottom right
are not shown completely.

Any clues?

Did you guys find a work around? My labels are cut just like yours to the right of the graph (horizontally label). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

thx,
Reza

jfreeuser2006 i know you posted this a long time ago, but even so i risk to ask how did you do the vertical dates in the x-axis????

thanks for your atention

callisto · Post by **callisto** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 1:52 pm

To rotate the tick labels on a ValueAxis : axis.setVerticalTickLabels(true)

dreamit · Post by **dreamit** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 4:37 pm

thanks

but this only aplies to dateAxis am i right?

If i wanted to put the x-axis tick label vertically in a simple line chart would this be possible?

callisto · Post by **callisto** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 5:15 pm

It applies to all ValueAxis subclasses (DateAxis, NumberAxis, ...)

If you're using a CategoryAxis then you can use axis.setCategoryLabelPositions(CategoryLabelPostions.UP_90)

Hi,

So does anyone has the solution to the label text being cut at the edges of the plot?

Thank you

doudou · Post by **doudou** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 11:39 am

Why don't you just change the place of the marker?
You force the chart window to be 0 to 8 vertically, and then you place markers at 0 (so centered on 0 axis) and on 8 (so centered on 8 axis)

2 solutions: change axis range or move markers...
