Custom Mark Text

[ZooX]

Hi, I hope I am just doing something wrong and its an easy fix.


You MarksStyle values aren't enough for what I need. I need to basically add my own text to the mark. Which one would think I could do by the method setText that you guys made available


I have

Code: Select all

     markItem.setDrawText(true);
     markItem.setText("BLAH");

This has NO effect whatsoever. how do I add my own text to the mark of each series?

Hi ZooX,

You have 2 options here:

1. Set marks text as labels when you populate a series, for example:

Code: Select all

series.add(y, "my mark text");

2. Use series' GetMarkText event and customize marks text there.

Hope this helps!

Ahhh, why thank you very much. The GetMarkText event will do just fine.

Hi ZooX,

This was discussed here.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mariusz,

Are you talking about the java version or the VCL? If you are referring the VCL, please note that this is the java support subforum.
