Left align labels in 0.9.12

[Jim D]

Hi all,

I am looking to create a chart that looks like the image below using 0.9.12




JFreeChart seems to default to having the category labels right aligned so that they are just left of the bars themselves. But I need to make then left aligned like the image above..

Does anyone know how I can get a reference of this area of the chart and make the labels left aligned? Also, where should I start to do an annotation to the right of the labels to display the sub label "(xx)?

Thanks for all the help!

did u try using the following or (combinations thereof) :

Code: Select all

labelAnchor = ItemLabelAnchor.INSIDE12;
textAnchor = TextAnchor.TOP_CENTER;

in ur code to get the positioning of the label ?

There isn't an option to control the alignment of the category labels, although it would be nice to have one.

As a workaround, you could modify the CategoryAxis class directly - the label coordinates are calculated in the refreshTicks(...) method.
