|
|
|
29 |
<P> You can easily choose to display the value (and it's format) on top
|
|
|
30 |
of each bar by accessing the bar's 'value' property. So for example by
|
|
|
31 |
just adding the line<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000">
|
|
|
32 |
<FONT color="#0000BB"> $barplot</FONT><FONT color="#007700">-></FONT><FONT
|
|
|
33 |
color="#0000BB">value</FONT><FONT color="#007700">-></FONT><FONT color="#0000BB">
|
|
|
34 |
Show</FONT><FONT color="#007700">();</FONT><FONT color="#0000BB"></FONT></FONT>
|
|
|
35 |
</CODE></DIV></P>
|
|
|
36 |
<P> Will enable the values in it's simplest form and will give the
|
|
|
37 |
result<DIV class="example">

<P></P>

</DIV></P>
|
|

<P> You cane see a small nuisance in this graph. The auto scaling
|
|
|
45 |
algorithm chooses quite tight limits for the scale so that the bars
|
|
|
46 |
just fit. Adding the value on top of the bar makes it collide with the
|
|
|
47 |
top of the graph. To remedy this we tell the auto scaling algorithm to
|
|
|
48 |
allow for more "grace" space at the top of the scale by using the
|
|
|
49 |
method <A href="../ref/LinearScale.html#_LINEARSCALE_SETGRACE">
|
|
|
50 |
SetGrace()</A> which is used to tell the scale to add a percentage (of
|
|
|
51 |
the total scale span) more space to either one end or both ends of the
|
|
|
52 |
scale. In this case we add 20% more space at the top to make more room
|
|
|
53 |
for the values with the line<DIV class="phpscript"><CODE><FONT color="#000000">
|
|

|
|

</P>
|
|

<P></P>
|
|
|
61 |
<P> This will then give the graph as shown below<DIV class="example">

<P></P>
|

<P> You can also adjust the general position of the value in respect to
|
|
|
70 |
the bar by using the <A href="../ref/BarPlot.html#_BARPLOT_SETVALUEPOS">
|
|
|
71 |
BarPlot::SetValuePos()</A> method. You can set the position to either
|
|
|
72 |
'top' (the default) , 'center' or 'bottom'. The graph below shows the
|
|
|
73 |
value being positioned in the center. In this example we have also
|
|
|
74 |
adjusted the format to just display the value as an integer without any
|
|
|
75 |
decimals.<DIV class="example">

|
|

80 |
<P></P>
|
|
|
81 |
</DIV></P>
|
|
|
82 |
<P> It is also possible to specify a more fine grained control on how
|
|
|
83 |
you want the values presented. You can for example, rotate them, change
|
|
|
84 |
font, change color. It is also possible to adjust the actual value
|
|
|
85 |
displayed by either using a printf()-type format string or with the
|
|
|
86 |
more advanced technique of a format callback routine.</P>
|
|
|
87 |
<P> To show what you can do we just give another example for you to
|
|
|
88 |
examine without much further explanations. Just remember that to have
|
|
|
89 |
text at an angle other than 0 or 90 degrees we have to use TTF fonts.
|
|
|
90 |
Even though we haven't explained the SetFont() method it should be
|
|
|
91 |
fairly obvious.<DIV class="example">
