Hi,
I need to have a multiline label for my value axis. More precisely,
my value axis has a label of "Y >>BETTER>>" while i need it to be
Y
>>BETTER>>.
Hope you get what i say. I have tried numerous things like inserting a break/newline character and even concatenating 2 strings. But i do not seem to find a fix for this.
Any suggestions?
MultiLine Axis Labels
I patched it by implementing my own version of ValueAxis.drawTickMarksAndLabels(..)
You should get a new line for every newLine
There are only a few changes (see the comments) but i haven't tested it for every possible case... so don't shoot me if anything goes wrong.
But I hope it helps.

Re: MultiLine Axis Labels
Hi,
i tried to use this modification in my project. The new line feature works, but the space for the labels stays the same.
i tried to override the getLabelEnclosure method, but its given string is just "".
Where is my misstake?
thank you
