Rotated axis labels in Windows [message #855041] Tue, 24 April 2012 09:28 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi there,

I came accross a strange problem. I'm developing an RCP application, which draws a bar chart using the BIRT chartengine. But when I try to rotate the xAxis Labels by 45 degree it displays just garbage under Windows. I've attached two screenshots. Both screenshot use the same data and same birt version.
I just added
xAxis.getLabel().getCaption().getFont().setRotation(45);

to rotate the label.

The same code works fine under linux and macosx. Anyone got any suggestions what I'm doing wrong?

Regards
Jens

Is this the same issue?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=273975

BTW what output format are you using for the chart?

I don't think it is the same issue.

I'm rendering direkt to a swt canvas.

Do you have a sample app that I could run that shows the issue?

Hi,

I've attached a simple App. It opens a simple Shell and displays a chart. Running on MacOS the bottom Labels are shown. Running on Windows (tested as standalone app, not run from inside eclipse) the bottom labels are just garbage.

Can you try adding the font name like:
xAxis.getLabel().getCaption().getFont().setName("Arial");

Thanks! It worked. Is it expected behavior? Did I miss something in the docs?

No I think this may be a bug with fonts. It would be good if you could
put a bugzilla entry in and put the resolution as well.

I filed the Bug 377825 - Rotated Axis labels get garbled on windows.

Unfortunately I can't post a link. Wink
