  • the chart name defined through programming with grCreate.
  • the name of Chart control found in the report editor.
<Font used>: Font
Font to use. This parameter corresponds to a variable of type Font. The font characteristics have been defined by the FontCreate function or via the font properties.

Remarks

Handling the category labels

The category labels are displayed:
  • below the horizontal marks for Line and Stock charts (Candlestick and BarCharts),
  • below the X-axis for Column and MinMax charts.
Category label
Category labels cannot be used in Scatter charts.
The category labels are defined by grCategoryLabel.
The label font can be modified by grLabelFont.
The category labels defined by grCategoryLabel can be displayed in the caption of the Pie chart (grShowLabel constant used with grLabel).

Initializing fonts

The default font used for the labels has the following characteristics:
  • Font name: Arial
  • Size: 14
  • Style: Normal
  • Color: Black
When grCreate is used, the default font is used for the labels.

Orientation of the font

For the labels of a chart, the "orientation" property of the font is ignored.
To change the orientation of the font in the labels, the description of the Chart control must be modified in the 7-tab window.
By default, the orientation is automatically chosen. This orientation takes into account the size and the number of labels to display.
