Hi All,
I'm evaluating the xamcharts for my firm. I can see how to change the font size for the chart captions and the legend. But I can't figure out how to change the font size for the DataPoint Labels on my bar charts.
The labels are so small I can't read them. Changing from a 3D to a 2D helps, but I prefer the 3D charts. There is so much wasted white space around the 3D charts that could be used for larger datapoint labels, but how do you change it?
thanks!!
Kathy
set the FontSize property of the Marker in context, e.g.
<igCA:XamChart> <igCA:XamChart.Series> <igCA:Series> <igCA:Series.DataPoints> <igCA:DataPoint Value="1" Label="Point A" /> <igCA:DataPoint Value="2" Label="Point B" /> <igCA:DataPoint Value="3" Label="Point C" /> </igCA:Series.DataPoints> <igCA:Series.Marker> <igCA:Marker FontSize="24" /> </igCA:Series.Marker> </igCA:Series> </igCA:XamChart.Series> </igCA:XamChart>
Thanks David. The markers were clear and legible---that wasn't the problem. It's really the data point labels below the chart that are illegible....
My boss said I should just skip using the 3D charts, but they look so much nicer than the 2D charts I'd like to use them if possible.
<igCA:XamChart View3D="True"> <igCA:XamChart.Axes> <igCA:Axis AxisType="PrimaryX"> <igCA:Axis.Label> <igCA:Label FontSize="24" /> </igCA:Axis.Label> </igCA:Axis> </igCA:XamChart.Axes> </igCA:XamChart>
Thanks David. Unfortunately, changing the label size didn't make the labels more readable. Even on the Infragistics sample browser, the 3D labels under and to the left of the charts are just illegible. For these types of charts, I'll just stick with 2D until the 3D versions are improved.
