Hi,
I have several charts that I would like to have line up vertically. The X
axis is the same so it scales correctly, however the differing values for
the Y Axis cause the Y Axis of each chart not to line up exactly because
BIRT automatically sizes the area for the Y Axis values according to the
minimum it can get away with. Is there any way to force the Y Axis value
area to a specified width or is there some other way to acheive this
alignment?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure if this does answer my question? A picture would sure be worth
a thousand words here, but here goes:
I have two charts, one above the other. I'd like the Y axis lines to line
up. They don't because the scales on each Y axis are different and thus
have different max values. BIRT sizes the area required to display the Y
axis values automatically so I can't see how I can get the Y axis lines to
line up short of formating the Y axis values with leading zeros to pad them
all to the same width! Eg.,
10 |
5 |
0 |
1000 |
500 |
0 |
I'd like to see:
10 |
5 |
0 |
1000 |
500 |
0 |
Thanks,
Mike

That seems difficult to do, even with the new plot control I am not sure it
will work. What you can try is show the Y value on the right of the axis and
put your axis on the right of the chart. Not very nice, but it should work.
Another way is to format the number with a space prefix so 10 would become
__10, it's worth a try.
Thanks,
David
