How to get the X-Axis labels vertical instead of horizontal

[Bowser]

Hi Folks,

here is my problem:

I have a Bar Chart Diagramm which has Date Values on the X-Axis. The Format is in 'DD.MM.YYYY'
Now i've got the problem that the dates are written horizontal. So i can only show few values.
But i want to show more values.
So i need to switch the Dates to vertical.

Is there any method to do this?

Hope you can help me!

Thanks!!

domainAxis.setVerticalTickLabels(true)

Hi Roy,

Thank You for your quick answer!

But unfortunately it doesn't work. Maybe i've done something wrong?

Here my Code:

Code: Select all

        CategoryPlot catPlot = chart.getCategoryPlot();

        CategoryAxis domainAxis = catPlot.getDomainAxis();
        domainAxis.setVerticalTickLabels(true);

Is there any misstake?

Usually I display dates with a DateAxis so I am confused. Maybe you should post more code. Maybe a complete example.

This is how I do it.

Code: Select all

JFreeChart chart = .....;
CategoryAxis axis = chart.getCategoryPlot().getDomainAxis();
axis.setCategoryLabelPositions(CategoryLabelPositions.UP_90);

Normally I use UP_45, but the 90 should get you vertical. Also you can use either up or down to change the direction of the text.
