3D Bar Chart and Hiding Series Lables

cgswtsu78

Does anyone know how to hide the series labels (each bar's label) that appear by default on a 3D bar chart along the x axis?



public Chart createChart(BaseChart chartSpec, ResourceBundle bundle) throws Exception
{
ChartWithAxes cwaBar = ChartWithAxesImpl.create( );
cwaBar.setDimension( ChartDimension.THREE_DIMENSIONAL_LITERAL );
cwaBar.setType( "Bar Chart" ); //$NON-NLS-1$
cwaBar.setSubType( "Side-by-side" ); //$NON-NLS-1$

// Plot
cwaBar.getBlock( ).setBackground( ColorDefinitionImpl.WHITE( ) );
cwaBar.getBlock( ).getOutline( ).setVisible( true );

// Title
cwaBar.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption().setValue(chartSpec.getChartTitle() +
ChartUtils.getDateAsString(ChartConstants.DATE_FORMAT_YYYYMMDD, (String)chartSpec.getWhereClauseStmts().get("fromDate")) + " - " +
ChartUtils.getDateAsString(ChartConstants.DATE_FORMAT_YYYYMMDD, (String)chartSpec.getWhereClauseStmts().get("toDate")));
// Legend
cwaBar.getLegend( ).setItemType( LegendItemType.CATEGORIES_LITERAL );

// X-Axis
Axis xAxisPrimary = cwaBar.getPrimaryBaseAxes()[0];
xAxisPrimary.setType(AxisType.TEXT_LITERAL);
xAxisPrimary.getMajorGrid().setTickStyle(TickStyle.BELOW_LITERAL);
xAxisPrimary.getOrigin().setType(IntersectionType.MIN_LITERAL);
xAxisPrimary.getLabel().getCaption().getFont().setRotation(90);

if(chartSpec.getxAxisTitle() != null)
{
xAxisPrimary.getTitle().setVisible(true);
xAxisPrimary.getTitle().getCaption().setValue(chartSpec.getxAxisTitle());
}

// Y-Axis
Axis yAxisPrimary = cwaBar.getPrimaryOrthogonalAxis(xAxisPrimary);
yAxisPrimary.getMajorGrid().setTickStyle(TickStyle.LEFT_LITERAL);
yAxisPrimary.setType(AxisType.LINEAR_LITERAL);


if(chartSpec.getyAxisTitle() != null)
{
yAxisPrimary.getTitle().setVisible(true);
yAxisPrimary.getTitle().getCaption().setValue(chartSpec.getyAxisTitle());
}
//yAxisPrimary.getLabel( ).getCaption( ).getFont( ).setRotation( 90 );

// Z-Axis
Axis zAxis = AxisImpl.create(Axis.ANCILLARY_BASE);
zAxis.setType(AxisType.TEXT_LITERAL);
zAxis.setLabelPosition(Position.BELOW_LITERAL);
zAxis.setTitlePosition(Position.BELOW_LITERAL);
zAxis.getMajorGrid().setTickStyle(TickStyle.BELOW_LITERAL);
zAxis.setOrientation(Orientation.HORIZONTAL_LITERAL);
xAxisPrimary.getAncillaryAxes().add(zAxis);


// Data Set
TextDataSet categoryValues = TextDataSetImpl.create(chartSpec.getxAxis());
NumberDataSet orthoValues1 = NumberDataSetImpl.create(chartSpec.getyAxis());

// X-Series
Series seCategory = SeriesImpl.create();
seCategory.setDataSet(categoryValues);

SeriesDefinition sdX = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create();
sdX.getSeriesPalette().shift(0, 10);
xAxisPrimary.getSeriesDefinitions().add(sdX);
sdX.getSeries().add(seCategory);

// Y-Series (1)
BarSeries bs1 = (BarSeries) BarSeriesImpl.create();
bs1.setDataSet(orthoValues1);
bs1.getLabel().setVisible(true);
bs1.setLabelPosition(Position.OUTSIDE_LITERAL);
bs1.setTranslucent(false);

SeriesDefinition sdY = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create();
yAxisPrimary.getSeriesDefinitions().add(sdY);

sdY.getSeries().add(bs1);

// Z-Series
SeriesDefinition sdZ = SeriesDefinitionImpl.create();
zAxis.getSeriesDefinitions().add(sdZ);

// Rotate the chart
cwaBar.setRotation(Rotation3DImpl.create(new Angle3D[]{
Angle3DImpl.create(-10, 25, 0)} ) );

return cwaBar;
}

I think you can use the setVisible() method on your Label as described here:<br />
<br />
<a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/documentation/BIRT_220/ChartJavadoc/chart/api/org/eclipse/birt/chart/model/component/Label.html'>Label (BIRT Chart Engine API)</a><br />
<br />
maybe something like: <br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
xAxisPrimary.getLabel().setVisible(false);
</pre>
<br />
However I noticed you are rotating these labels already so maybe you are talking about different labels?
