Using VCL Chart XAxis Angle wastes space & truncates text

[Ferrari_Julio]

Please, make it calculate the right space needed according to the Angle value, and not based on a fixed 90 degrees calculation.

The other thread, about FNC Chart, has a meanwhile solution playing with XAxis.Height, but VCL Chart does not have this property (I tried, but couldn't see any effect on changing XAxis.Size in a vertical bar chart, and XAxix.BottomSize is read-only. Not even know if these "sizes" are about height.).

@Pieter

When the chart detects rotated text, it reserves space for up to 90 degrees. To disable this, use TMSFNCChart1.XAxis.AutoSize := False; & set TMSFNCChart1.XAxis.Height := 55 (or less/more depending on the content)

There aren't neither point-level legends in bar chart type, what could somehow improve display when there are larger X values text.

Making it horizontal and setting the BarValueTextType to btXAxisValue neither helps, because when the bar width is too small for the text it's also a problem.

I found that it also has an Autosize property, so setting it to false and changing XAxis.Size makes the Height change, but the label drawning does not work as in FNC Chart. When I set the height to a value like 55 or 60 in FNC Chart, it draws the "Angle"ed labels within this height.
Changing XAxis.Size in VCL Chart just limited the axis drawing area, cutting it's content.

FNC Chart w/ Height=55

VCL Chart w/ Size=60

VCL Chart w/ Size=120

And please note how these letters are kind of fuzzy

Please, help needed!

The responsible developer will look into this as soon as possible.

Hi,

We detected an issue calculating the best possible position and angle according to the text. In TMS FNC Chart we already addressed this, but still need to take a look at TMS VCL Chart as the drawing is different from FNC.
