Hi All,
I dont know whether this is the right place or not to post the queries related to jfreechart here .

I am facing a problem in displaying the text inside the item label in jfreeChart. I am trying to print the text in 2 lines one below the other at the top of each bar in waterfall chart.
Please find the code below :

the problem i am facing is it is neglecting the new line character . If any one knows how to display the text one below the other please help me out .

Thanks in advance .

It's the right place if you happen to get a decent answer to the question. I'm betting you won't but hoping you will.

Could those with the API doc for this guy's problem, read the doc and post it here so he can read it?

That's not me as I don't use JFreeChart nor have these documents, but AFAIK, you have to pay for this documentation, and that makes me wonder if posting any of it here will run afoul of copyright law.

Hi Friends

chitora,
Do you have the API doc for the class? What does it say?

[chittora]

Hi Norm,
I am able to achieve the required functionality by using 2 renders.Well i have the doc but it doesn't say anything about skipping the new line character in the label.

Any way thanks for taking the pain ..

To display larg label in more than one line you can use following code

CategoryAxis domainAxis = plot.getDomainAxis();
 domainAxis.setMaximumCategoryLabelLines(3);
        plot.setOrientation(PlotOrientation.VERTICAL);

cheers !!!

:OOOO did't work me :(

WHY!!
