Value of the legend label is cut [message #255998]

Hi,

I have a chart and I colors the chart and legend depending on "ID" in my
dataset. After this, I change the value of my legend label, instead of ID
I will show the belowing name. I do that in beforeDrawLegendItem-Method of
my ChartEventHandler:
lerh.getLabel().getCaption().setValue(RtsUtil.getNotificatio nName(ID));
The problem is that in the created picture of the chart I see only few
letters of LegendItem. I think it reserves the place for value (ID)
renders the picture and then if I change the value there is no place for
that. Can anybody help me to do it so, that I can see the whole value
anyway?

This is a known issue, the script is executed after the layout computations
are done. We are looking to improve it, but in the meantime, you just need
to allocate enough space before hand to make sure the new labels will fit.
Maybe by adding some spaces in your original values for instance.

Thanks,

David

Thanks David for your answer,

I resolved the problem in putting the legend below the chart, there is
enough space for LegendItem. But now I have the same problem on the left
side with DataPointLabel. I will post if I have answer to this.

Thanks,

Reinhard
