Comments on: Rotating labels in a Flex chart axis using the labelRotation style

So what if I wanted to display the Vertical label the other way, I notice that -90 and +90 the label displays the same way, why? Should it not be flipped? Also what if I want to rotate the Title of the Horizontal axis. The reason is, that I have a chart that displays information which can be ‘rotated’ in accordance with direction, so the whole chart is rotated, which then prints the labels and titles upside down, I tried to counter this with the rotation, but this fails as it seems it will not accept values greater than or less than 90 for the labels and you can not ‘flip’ the horizontal title, oh the joys of flex development!

Alan is right.
“If you embed the font in the main application that loads the modules, it will work.”

Ja, thanks for posting that.
- I’ve spent ages trying to figure out why embedding the font made the labels disappear.
Stopped using RSLs and it worked fine.
Trouble is we need RSLs, anyone have a work around by any chance ??

We had issues with rotated labels until we changed the framework linkage from Runtime shared library (RSL) to Merged into code.

This solution does not work when Application contains modules.

I have done all the mandatory steps required as guided above -
1. Embedded font.
2. Specified the font-family for the Chart.
3. Used labelRotation style for verticalAxisRenderer.

If someone can please help.

Thanks in advance.

hello all,
when i reduced the width and height of application to 300 * 250 and add more data to array,
then i found that labels of X axis are not visible properlly, when i write font-size:20 at stylessheet,
it is increasing size of both x and y axis.
could we increase the only size of y axis which is rotated?
thx in advanced,
:)

If verticalRenderer is declared as –

var verticalRenderer:AxisRenderer = new AxisRenderer();

verticalRenderer.setStyle(“verticalAxisTitleAlignment”, “vertical”);

This will resolve your issue.
