My report has a set of line charts, each of which needs to be annotated with additional series that are created based on the parameter selection. The logic behind it is currently residing in beforeFactory() and dataset's onFetch() method. Rather than just adding the new line series to the main section of the chart, I want to create an additional Y-axis with study layout (as introduced in BIRT 2.5) and add my new line series to it. This is the shortened version of the code:

cht = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("All criteria chart");
mychart = cht.getReportItem().getProperty( "chart.instance" );
xAxis =mychart.getAxes().get(0);

yAxis1 = xAxis.getAssociatedAxes().get(0);
yAxis2 = AxisImpl.create( Axis.ORTHOGONAL );

xAxis.getAssociatedAxes( ).add( yAxis2 );
//mychart.setStudyLayout(true);

//create new line series here...

This works and adds the new line series, but as soon as I set the Study Layout, the axis labels and markers for existing axes (xAxis and yAxis1) dissappear!

Any idea what is going wrong?

Take a look at this example.

Thanks Jason. I copied all the steps, the two things missing were shifting the series palette and invoking yAxis2.getSeriesDefinitions().clear(), however the problem still remains. Could the issue be caused by the X axis being grouped on dates? It doesn't affect the non-study layout though.

Are you using optional grouping or just the normal grouping on x-axis?
Can you try setting the labels explicitly:
yAxis.setType( AxisType.LINEAR_LITERAL );
yAxis.getMajorGrid( ).setTickStyle( TickStyle.RIGHT_LITERAL );
yAxis.setLabelPosition( Position.RIGHT_LITERAL );

Also try to add the second axis in the guid and put a series on it. Do
the labels show up then?

I am using normal grouping on X-axis.

When I add a second axis using the Designer (using different data for the second series, but same starting chart), the behaviour is exactly the same, e.g. it appears normal when study view is deselected, but as soon as I switch it on the labels disappear from the X-axis and the original Y-axis.
