Ely: How do you wordwrap a label on a bar chart?

[Patrick Lemiuex]

A Vertical Axis why Field, my labels are being cut off, my width
dimension is fixed to 280 pixels, so the column needs to wrap down?

Thanks,
Patrick

[Ely Greenfield]

 
 
Hi Patrick.  THe only way would be to use a labelFunction on your axis
and manually insert a line break yourself.
 
Ely.

Hi Ely,

I got this far with wordwrapping the label text, but my question is
more complicated.  I want to have two verticalAxisRenderers, side-by-
side, on the same side of a ColumnChart.  Or, create a single
LabelRenderer to simulate this.  One of the labels needs a shaded
background with text, while the other is just text.  While digging
into it, the docs say to use IFactory for a chart LabelRenderer.  Is
this similar to an ItemRenderer for a DataGrid?  Understandably,
there aren't any examples yet that show how to do this.

If you have the time, thanks,

Hi Tim.  yes, the AxisRenderer supports a property called
'labelRenderer' which is very much like an item renderer.  Pass the
AxisRenderer a reference to a class (wrapped in a classFactory, just as
with itemRenderers) that extends UIComponent, ProgrammaticSkin, or one
of the existing Flex components, and implements the IDataRenderer
interface.  The AxisRenderer will instantiate one of these for each
label it needs to show, and assign the label to the labelRenderer's
'data' property.
 
I don't think there are any examples out there of how to do this today.
 
Ely.
 
 
p.s. You could also consider writing a custom axisRenderer...there's a
pretty exhaustive example of how to do that in the Interactive Bubble
Chart on my blog, http://www.quietlyscheming.com/.  You could
theoretically create two axis renderers that stack on the left hand side
that way, although that's a pretty big undertaking.

Let me restate this.  I'm in chart purgatory right now, and I got the
chart type mixed up.  It's a bar chart that has a CatagoryField="name"
and a second CategoryField="rank".  The two fields line-up vertically on
both sides of the chart.  I want the name (non-shaded) and rank (shaded)
on the same side.  Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Ely, that makes sense now.  I'll give it a try.  Luckily, both
series are using the same dataProvider, so I'll have access to the data
property and probably be able to eliminate the second axis completely.
Thanks for the tips and the source to your interactive calendar
component
<http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/interactive-calendar/> .
Great Stuff!

Patrick,

Sorry to highjack your thread.  Here's a method to display a multi-lined
Axis label:

labelFunction:
public function
wrapLabel(cat:Object,pcat:Object,ax:CategoryAxis,catItem:Object):String
{
     var pattern:RegExp = /-/;
     return cat.replace(pattern, "-\n");
}

Axis:
<mx:horizontalAxis>
     <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="CategoryField"
labelFunction="wrapLabel"/>
</mx:horizontalAxis>

This example changes:

11/17/06 - 12/16/06

to

11/17/06 -
12/16/06

By using regular expresions, you have quite a bit of flexibility.

Or as Tim said, you could also uses this


private function toolTipReport(e:HitData):String
{
    var relatorioTip:String = "";

    relatorioTip += "<b>Custom Label:</b> "+e.item.col_1+"<br>";

    relatorioTip += "<b>Custom Label2:</b> "+ e.item.col_2 + "<br>";

    relatorioTip +="<b>Custom Label3:</b> " + e.item.col_3+"<br>";

    relatorioTip +="<b>Custom Label4:</b> "+e.item.col_5+ "<br>";

    relatorioTip += "<b>Custom Label 5:</b> " + e.item.col_6+ "<br>";

    relatorioTip += "<b>Custom Label 6:</b> " + e.item.col_7;

    return relatorioTip;

}

Tim:

I gave this a shot am I missing something here?  Wordrapping isn't
working for me,
the text is still cut off.

I appreciate your time in showing me this.  Regex is all new to me, but
it's all the rage.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hey Patrick,

Why don't you post your code so we can see what you're doing.  It
probably has something to do with the gutters, fontSize and the
height of your chart.

[Patrick Lemiuex]

Tim:

I just posted the entire application in a zip file.  I added a player
title and it makes the text like subscript size.
I also am using Ely's comments and trying to put pictures to the left of
the bars - and I've realized, something...
I'm totally confused as to what I'm doing.  Which is par for the course
for me.

http://www.reduxdj.org/redux/polls.zip

I'm working from a previous example using the sandy distortion effects
and it may be a little convoluted
so far.

Thanks for any guidance (other than pick a new profession, of course ;)

Patrick



 From Ely's previous post:

 
A chart typically has two AxisRenderers, one for the horizontal, and one
for the vertical.
Each AxisRenderer has a labelRenderer factory associated with it. It
uses the label renderer factory to instantiate label renderer instances,
one for each label.
Your job is to create a new labelRenderer.
Your labelRenderer should probably extend UIComponent.
You would specify it like this:
 
<BarChart>
   <verticalAxisRenderer>
        <AxisRenderer labelRenderer="PicLabelRenderer" />
   </verticalAxisRenderer>
   ...
</BarChart>
 
Each PicLabelRenderer will get passed the string to render in its data
property.
It's up to you to decide how to render that string.
In your case, if I were you, I'd imagine the string would either be an
url, or used as a key to look up an image or image url in a mapping table.
 
 
Ely.

Ely,

That worked, thanks again.

Patrick,

I'll try to take a quick look at it during foolball tomorrow.  If
anything jumps out, I'll let you know.

Patrick,

A quick and dirty solution for your app, would be to use this
labelFunction for the CategoryAxis.  This would add a new line in place
of the second space (not a great RegExp, but I couldn't locate an easy
way to find the second space).

public function
wrapLabel(cat:Object,pcat:Object,ax:CategoryAxis,catItem:Object):String
{
      var pattern:RegExp = /\s/;
      cat = cat.replace(pattern, "%%");
      pattern = /\s/;
      cat = cat.replace(pattern, "\n");
      pattern = /%%/;
      return cat.replace(pattern, "\s");
}

A more involved method would be to use a labelRenderer (similar to the
following), for the AxisRenderer.  For word-wrap, you would change the
_label variable type from Label to UITextField or TextArea; and set the
desired styles and properties.  Caveat: I've found that if the entire
view is using a show effect (like yours), the app locks-up (probably
asking the player to do too much).  Also, if you use a showDataEffect on
a series of a chart, the effect doesn't play if you use a labelRenderer.

[Patrick Lemiuex]

Tim:

That's great, this helps me wrap my head around how to use a custom
label renderer class.
I'll give both a shot. I guess a super dirty solution would be to stack
these images
on top of canvas next to the chart, but that sounds cheesy.

By the way who were you rooting for in your game, hopefully not the radiers:

ok, a kid goes to his counselor and says he wants to live somewhere else
because hes getting beat. The counselor asks if he wants to live with
his dad, but he says no because he beats him. The counselor asks if he
wants to live with one of his aunts, and he says no because they beat
him too. Then, she asks if he wants to live with his grandparents, and
he says no, because they beat him too. Finally, the counselor asks "who
do you want to live with"?!!? He says, the raiders, cause they don't
beat anybody.

Thanks time,
Patrick

Indy, unfortunately.  If you wanted to add images to the Axis
labelRenderer, it's going to be a little tricky.  Unlike a DataGrid
itemRenderer, the data property of the labelRenderer only contains
the text for the label; not all of the other fields in the
dataProvider.  You can hack around this, by concatenating (with a
delimiter) the image class name to the categoryField data in the
dataProvider.  Inside the labelRenderer, separate the image class
name from the original categoryField data and use it as the source
for an image.  Obviously, you'll have to add the image as a child of
the labelRenderer as well.

[Matt Horn]

Tim's approach requires that you have a hyphen in your label as it
replaces that hyphen with a hyphen plus a newline.

Another approach would be to split the string on spaces, and then insert
a newline at the nth space. The following example puts in a newline at
the fourth occurrence of a space:

  public function defineLabel(cat:Object, pcat:Object, ax:CategoryAxis,
catItem:Object):String {
        var a:Array = cat.split(' ');
        var s:String = "";
       
        for (var i:int=0; i<a.length; i++) {
            s += a[i] + ' '; // reconstruct the label
            if (i==3) { // insert a newline at the fourth space
                s += "\n";
            }
        }
        return s;
  }

Yeah Matt,

You're correct, you can use whatever RegExp you want.  That was just
