skip category labels & vertical labels

[Rich Unger]

I'm graphing a verticalBar3d and can't get the setSkipCategoryLabelsToFit property to do anything.

CategoryPlot plot = (CategoryPlot)((JFreeChart)chart).getPlot();
HorizontalCategoryAxis axis = (HorizontalCategoryAxis)plot.getDomainAxis();
axis.setVerticalCategoryLabels( true );
axis.setSkipCategoryLabelsToFit( true );

I get vertical labels, but no skipping.

It works if I don't have vertical category labels set.

Looking through the code, it seems that the skipping feature is only implemented for horizontal labels, not vertical ones. It is probably not a big job to extend it to work for vertical labels...

Is that some kind of hint?

All right, here's a diff on HorizontalCategoryAxis, patched against 0.9.3 sources:
