Horizontal bar yaxis labels not visible

[Peter Oresnik]

I want to create horizontal oriented bar chart with labels placed on y-axis.

How to make y axis labels visible for negative bar values? (See example: "bar two" is not visible, because bar draws over the label).

        GraphPane myPane = zgc.GraphPane;

        // Set the titles and axis labels
        myPane.Title.Text = "Axis Cross Demo";
        myPane.XAxis.Title.Text = "My X Axis";
        myPane.YAxis.Title.Text = "My Y Axis";

        // Make up some data arrays based on the Sine function
        double x, y;
        PointPairList list = new PointPairList();
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        {
            x = (i - 2);
            y = i;
            list.Add(x, y);
        }


        // Generate a red curve with diamond
        // symbols, and "Porsche" in the legend

// LineItem myCurve = myPane.AddCurve("Parabola", list, Color.Green, SymbolType.Diamond);

        PointPairList pptest = new PointPairList();
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        {

// pptest.Add(i - 2, i+1);
}
pptest.Add(0, 2);
pptest.Add(1, 5);
pptest.Add(2, 3);
pptest.Add(3, 6);
pptest.Add(4, 4);

        myPane.Y2Axis.IsVisible = false;

/ myPane.Y2AxisMin = 0;
myPane.Y2Axis.Max = 4; /

        BarItem myBar = myPane.AddBar("Bar", pptest, Color.Blue);
        myBar.IsY2Axis = true;

        // Set the Y axis intersect the X axis at an X value of 0.0
        myPane.YAxis.Cross = 0.0;
        // Turn off the axis frame and all the opposite side tics

/ myPane.Chart.Border.IsVisible = false;
myPane.XAxis.MajorTic.IsOpposite = false;
myPane.XAxis.MinorTic.IsOpposite = false;
myPane.YAxis.MajorTic.IsOpposite = false;
myPane.YAxis.MinorTic.IsOpposite = false;/

        string[] labels = { "zero", "one", "two", "three", "four" };

        myPane.YAxis.Type = AxisType.Text;
        myPane.YAxis.Scale.TextLabels = labels;

        // Calculate the Axis Scale Ranges
        zgc.AxisChange();            
        zgc.Refresh();

Sorry wrong example :)

        GraphPane myPane = zgc.GraphPane;
        myPane.CurveList.Clear();
        PointPairList list = new PointPairList();

        list.Clear();
        list.Add(4, 0);
        list.Add(-2, 1);
        list.Add(5, 2);
        list.Add(3, 3);
        string[] labels = { "bar one", "bar two", "bar three", "bar four"};
        myPane.YAxis.Scale.TextLabels = labels;
        myPane.YAxis.Type = AxisType.Text;

        myPane.YAxis.Cross = 0.0;

        BarItem myCurve2 = myPane.AddBar("curve 2", list, Color.Red);
        myCurve2.Bar.Fill = new Fill(Color.Red, Color.White, Color.Red, 90);

        // Set BarBase to the YAxis for horizontal bars
        myPane.BarSettings.Base = BarBase.Y;

        zgc.AxisChange();
        zgc.Refresh();

Hi,
Try commenting out the "Cross" setting, and adding a zero line like this:

//myPane.YAxis.Cross = 0.0;
myPane.XAxis.MajorGrid.IsZeroLine = true;

Hi!

Thank you for your answer.

Setting IsZeroLine to true moves labels away from x=0 axis. I would like to have labels written in front of negative bar and labels pointing to x=0 (y) axis.

Is that possible?
