ItemLabel Overlapping in BarChart

[cristo_haris]

In BarChart inorder to view large number of records horizontal scroll bar was given.In that case
1 : font of ItemLabels and Legends are changed
2 : ItemLabels which are placed horizontal are overlapped

Hoping a good solution soon.

1 : font of ItemLabels and Legends are changed

Are they changed, or just stretched? The ChartPanel class has an upper limit on the size of chart that it will draw (to ensure that the offscreen buffered image doesn't get overly large). Beyond that limit, the chart is drawn at the maximum size, then scaled up to fit the panel.

You can increase the maximum drawing size using the setMaximumDrawWidth() and setMaximumDrawHeight() methods - just be aware that more memory will be required if you are using the offscreen buffered image.

2 : ItemLabels which are placed horizontal are overlapped

There's no code to detect the overlapping, so the only option is to set a rotation for the labels so that they are drawn "vertically" and thus have less chance of overlapping.
