LabelForm.setAlignmentY(value)

GraphForm

Specifies the vertical alignment of the label with respect to the specified Y location. The corresponding “getter” function is getAlignmentY().

Parameter

value

One of the following alignments:

Chart.TOP_ALIGNMENT
Chart.MIDDLE_ALIGNMENT
Chart.BOTTOM_ALIGNMENT

Example

Chart Component Script

dataset = [["State","Quantity"], ["NJ",200], ["NY",300]]; (1)
graph = new EGraph();
var elem = new IntervalElement("State", "Quantity");
var form1 = new LabelForm(); (2)
var form2 = new LabelForm(); (2)
form1.setLabel("label1");
form1.setPoint(new java.awt.Point(100, 100));
form2.setLabel("label2");
form2.setPoint(new java.awt.Point(100, 100));
form2.setAlignmentY(Chart.TOP_ALIGNMENT); (3)
graph.addForm(form1); (4)
graph.addForm(form2); (4)
graph.addElement(elem);

1	See dataset to use a data block instead of an array literal.
2	Create the LabelForm object.
3	Use `setAlignmentY()` to set the vertical alignment.
4	Use EGraph.addForm(form) to add the `GraphForm` to the Chart.

Script that modifies the graph or dataset properties should be placed on the Chart component itself. See Add Component Script for more information. This script has access to the Chart data and Chart API methods. Scripted Charts are not good candidates for user-modification, so you should deselect ‘Enable Ad Hoc Editing’ in the Chart Properties dialog box.
