How to change the x-axis label angle?

simplename · Post by **simplename** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 2:54 am

I've created a chart using the ChartFactory class createBarChart method and now I need to change the angles of the labels of the x-axis just like the demo DualAxisDemo1.png on this website (I can't post any URL's =( )

I've noticed a method in the Axis class setLabelAngle(), but I can't use it unless I can grab hold of the X-axis object created in the graph.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thank you.

To get a reference to the axis:

Code: Select all

CategoryPlot plot = (CategoryPlot) chart.getPlot();
CategoryAxis axis = plot.getDomainAxis();

The source code for all the demos is available to download when you buy the JFreeChart Developer Guide - it will save you a lot of time I think.
