you can use sublist to achieve the second line text.

Hi sreehari.ojili,

did you solve the problem? If yes, can u tell me, how to do it. I thanks you in advance.

I use category line chart. Because the category text is too long, so i want that they are displayed alternate in 2 lines.

hi samtuen,

i guess the following code will solve your problem

Code: Select all

categoryAxis.setMaximumCategoryLabelLines(lines)

my senerio is bit different from u..

Hi Sreehari Ojili,

thank you for your reply. With the method

Code: Select all

categoryAxis.setMaximumCategoryLabelLines(lines)

overlapping can be avoided (the text break in line 2) , but I want that the category texts are displayed alternate on 2 lines. Can you do it?

i have been tweeking around with your exact problem and could not find a proper solution to it either on the forum or by looking through the API docs. So, i used an additional axis on the right side of the chart with the same range as the primary axis and added the label to it.

Hi avanidhar,

could it be, that you mean y-axis (... an additional axis on the right side of the chart ...)
