Graphs 2: Graphs 2 Layer Custom Data Labels

Graphs 2 Layer Custom Data Labels

Custom Data Labels window

This window is complementary to the Graphs 2 Properties window. It is opened using the Custom Data Labels button on the Data Layers tab pane and its contents is specific to the selected Data Layer in the list.

Using this you can add labels to particular data points on the graph. You determine the point numerically along the graph.

The following illustrates the effect of the settings shown on the window illustration above where Data point 1 is set to “{value} <*img=snowy.png*>” with a carriage-return after {value}.

Warning WARNING: This only works with series 0 of the data, so for example, if you have 4 series, as in the demonstration data for a bar chart, you can only apply this to custom labels in the first series. (Technical note: ChartDirector requires that the data point be identified by a dataSet number and a dataItem number. As of Omnis Studio V5.2.2 their implementation only supports the dataItem value and always sets dataSet=0. Hence the problem.)
