wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Hi, I am a newbie to wxfreechart and is using the library(in VS 2010 and C++) to create a graph. A line of my code is as follows :
From the docs,SetDateFormat() accepts date format in strftime style (http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/docs/free ... eAxis.html).
The above format specifier, if used with strftime gives date in first line and time in the second line. But SetDateFormat doesn't works in the same way. I get both date and time in the same line. Is there some way by which I can split the twi inti to lines? Any help will be appreciated. Thankyou

Did you try without spaces ?

Which wxWidgets version?

I assume that wxfreechart uses wxDC::DrawText to draw the label which only supports multi-line texts since wx 2.9.2

Yes..I did.. Then date and time is shown without a space in between..

I am using wxwdigets 3.0.0.

I tested this on Linux (gcc 4.8.4) and it draws the label on 2 separate lines.

Yes it does, although in the OP's case I expect the label is appearing vertically, so it is drawn with wxDC::DrawRotatedText. Could this be the issue? It should be simple to check by setting:

Jackzz, as an aside I have a slightly improved update to the wxCode wxFreeChart on GitHub (https://github.com/iwbnwif/wxFreeChart). This incorporates several bug fixes by PB and myself, although AFAIK nothing has been changed with this part of the labelling code.

Code: Select all

bottomAxis->SetVerticalLabelText(false);

Thankyou.. this helped me..
