X-axis tick marks and labels

Is there a way I can apply a vertical orientation to the x-axis labels on a chart?

David,
This is currently not an option within xMII. The only workaround would be to butt a html table cell up to it and have the orientation go vertical for the words.
Regards,
Erik

Tick mark and labels

Hello -
I've been doing a lot of reading and not finding some answers. Maybe someone here knows...
Does anyone know how to:
1. On a dual Y line graph, have the tick mark labels be words instead of numbers.
2. Instead of the horizonal line on the graph being solid and going all the way across the graph, just have a small tick mark right on the Y axis?
Many thanks.

Graph control right-hand Y-axis tick marks look like negative signs

Hi,
The graph control right-hand Y-axis tick marks just to the left of the numeric values that make up the scale look like negative signs. It gets confusing for the user of the software.
The left Y-axis is OK because the little tick marks are to the right of the number.
Any ideas on how to improve this situation?
Thanks,

Perry,
First of all thanks for looking at this.
The tick-marks controlled by the "Mark Origin" option are not the tick marks that are causing the problem.
The Mark Origin ticks are in the body of the graph along the x=0 and y=0 lines. They only show up if those lines are visible such as if you have a graph with an x axis range of -100 to +100 and a y axis range of the same.
The ticks I'm referring to are just to the left of the numeric values that label the right axis.
Below is a screenshot to illustrate:
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Kirk

Script for overriding category axis tick marks in graphs?

Hello!
We are introducing a new graph design, but has a problem with not being able to override the tick marks in the category axis in Illustrator CS5.
A typical graph (line layout) can have 250 observations, and since we have the tick marks on full width, the graph gets "crowded" with black lines.
In the value axis there is possibilites for overriding the values, but not on the category axis.
Is there any way to script so that the tick marks in the category axis can be reduced/overrided to e.g. 1 in 20?
Please help!

Script has NO access to live graph data… It can only break them… then fish in the group for bits…

Axis tick mark algorithm

Hi all,
I've been struggling trying to come up with a suitable algorithm for determining tick marks on an axis based on the range of values the axis should display.
For example, if my initial data set contains the values
[5,20,29,51,60,63,79,95]
I can get the Range of 90
I can specify I want, say, 5 tick marks on my axis, so my interval between marks is 90/5 = 18
so I could create an axis with values displayed of 0,18,36,54,72,90
but what I'd like to display here is 0,25,50,75,100 (ie more useful/readable values)
the axis will also have to cope with floats and negative values, so my data set could be....
[-5,-2.5,3.9,50.2, 80.9]
and if I specified ten tick marks Id want output of something like:
-10,0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80
If anyone has any ideas or can point me towards some source which does this kind of calculation I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Dylan

In general, since the factor of 10 are 1,2 and 5, you want to place tic marks at units that are either 1, 2 or 5 "units" apart, where "unit" is some power of ten like .01, .1, 1, 10, 100 etc.
Secondly, if your picture has 1000 tic marks, there will be too many of them. If there is only one tic mark, or maybe two, you havent given the person enough to look at.
This argues that there should be some reasonable number of tic mark as a target that you are shooting for, like 10 or 20 or something like that.
SO - given any range, that you want to cover, and given any "unit", and given any choice of multiplier (1, 2 or 5) you could calculate how many tics it would take to cover that range.
Given a target number of tics that you think is optimal you should be able to very quickly find the unit and multiplier that gives you the optimal number of tics.
For extra beauty, draw tics that land on multiples of 10 long, draw tics that land on multiples of 5 medium and draw ones that land on anything else short.
Enjoy!

How to calculate the rotation degree of tick marks

Hello Again,
Thanks to so much help that I received here, I've been able to move right along in learning how to perform my job digitally instead of with an old camera.
In my last discussion, I learned out to make the tick marks using copies and rotation. My question now is, how is the rotation calculated so A) I get the correct placement of the tick marks, especially the small ones as there are so many and B) how do I calculate the rotation degree so that I have the proper amount of space at the bottom of the guage/dial?
Here is an image to help show what I'm asking:
I know how to get the large tick marks and the small tick marks, if I were placing them evenly around the entire circle, I would know how to do that also - but since I'm placing them around only a portion of the circle (although still evenly) I'm lost. I can only figure out the space by hit and miss calculations and that is taking much too long. I would also need to know how much to rotate the entire thing by in order to get the open space at the bottom as shown.
thanks for your help!

You need to use transform effects and you can get this in about 10 or so minutes.
first you need to set up the objects.
the thick lines I used effect>distort and transform>transform 20 copies angle 14
thi ones 100 copies angle 2,8

Putting tick mark into check box in smartform

hi,
   can any one please let me know if i can put a tick mark in the check box of the smartform.
   for example: i need to select one among yes or no check box. how do i do it.
   should i have to upload a graphic of the tick mark and then display or is there any provision in smartforms to do that.

How to create tick marks within an arched area

I need to recreate this dial and I've learned how to create evenly spaced tick marks within a circle, but this is an ellipse. Here, I attempted to draw two ellipse then used the scissors to cut them to size. Then I used the line tool and drew each of the tick marks. Then I adjusted the weights of each tick. This is not a good method because the end ticks are not meeting the ends of the ellipse perfectly, leaving a tiny bit of tick mark outside the ellipse. There must be a better way to do this. Here is what I ended up with:
But this is what I need to create:
(I only need to create the arched part with tick marks of this dial)
Any help is appreciated, but please note that I am familiar with only the very basics of illustrator, I simply don't do this type of work often enough to completely understand the software.
Thanks!!!!

Jber,
And this is an attempt to give a (hopefully sufficiently) more complete description of the ellipse way, as an amendment of post #4 (overdoing silly things like this makes it difficult to remember to mention all the crucial steps that seem to hide somewhere in the fingers):
One way that results in constant thickness tick marks might be to (using Stroke>Round Cap/Join or Stroke>Projecting Cap/Miter Join or Stroke>Butt Cap and Miter Join depending on the desired end shape and length, see below, with the layer expanded in the Layers palette, and Smart Guides are your friends, telling you when you when you are in the right spots):
If you wish to have the tick marks follow an ellipse and at the same time have constant widths (two different widths), you may (see below):
0) Lock the image of the dial (shown as a grey area below), you may place it at X = 0 to facilitate symmetric building;
1) Create the thickest tick mark and move a copy to the right, then create a one step blend (Object>Blend Options>Specified Steps = 1, then Object>Blend>Make);
2) Create the thinnest tick mark and move a copy to the right, then create a five steps blend (Object>Blend Options>Specified Steps = 5, then Object>Blend>Make);
3) Either of two ways (in both cases make sure to make it as symmetrical as possible):
3a) Create the midway ellipse, adjusting the top of it to be midway between the two arcs (this is the first way I thought of and the way shown below), or
3b) Create two ellipses corresponding to the two arcs, then create a one step blend and Object>Blend>Expand to get the midway ellipse and delete the other two;
4) Drag horizontally with the Line Tool (hold Shift) to make a path between the two spots where the midway ellipse crosses the ends of the dial image (Smarts Guides say intersect), or just create a horizontal path and place it so it crosses the ellipse in the right spots (you can see the symmetry here);
5) With the horizontal path still selected Object>Path>Divide Objects Below;
6) Delete the lower superfluous part of the ellipse, then with the Direct Seletion Tool click the horizontal segment and delete it (only click delete once);
7) Select the remaining midway ellipse part and Object>Path>Offset Path, using half the height of the dial image (at the middle), you may retry until you have it right, this will recreate the top and bottom of the dial and also make ends;
8) Select the midway ellipse part and Object>Path>Add Anchor Points a few times (see below), and copy the midway ellipse, now you have two on top of each other, one for each of the blends;
9) Select one of the midway ellipses along with the thin blend from 2) (hold Shift to have them both selected) and Object>Blend>Replace Spine, this will make that ellipse part disappear;
10) Select the other midway ellipse and the thick blend from 1) (hold Shift to have them both selected) and Object>Blend>Replace Spine;
11) Hide/Delete the image dial.
Now you should have the whole dial with both sets of tick marks on top of the elliptic arch set. In 9) and 10) you may select on the Artboard or through the Layers palette (you can see what you are selecting in both places), and the order (and stacking order) in 1)/2) and 9)/10) can be changed.
If you wish to move/extend the thick tick marks upwards or both up and down, you may:
12) Select the thick ticks blend and Object>Blend>Expand, and then Select each of the thick tick marks and tick the appropriate Reference Point in the Transform palette (if you want to extend upwards use the bottom ones (Right for left, Center for centre, Left for right), if you want to extend both up and down use the Center one), then multiply the H value by the desired amount and click Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to make them a bit longer up/outwardly.
The Object>Path>Add Anchor Points in 8) is to get a even distribution of the thin tick mark blend (not necessary for the thick tick marks blend because it only has one step).

I want to get windows vista on the macbook pro with retina display but my first question is this that how do i install it without using a DVD OR CD disk drive, and my second question while installing windows vista do i have to tick mark the install win 7

hello i have a few problems and i hope somebody has a solution my first problem is that how can i install windows vista without using a disk drive and my second problem is that should i tick mark the option which says Install windows 7 while using boot camp please reply, Thanks,

When running Windows in a virtual environment Windows and OSx share your computer's resources such as RAM. Therefore your games can not use all your computer's resources when running.
If you install Windows natively then Windows and your games can and do use all your computer's resource such as RAM.
But as already said, older operating systems are not supported and will not run natively using Boot Camp Assistant. You must use Windows 7 if installing natively in Lion or Moubtain Lion.

Chart, axis and customize grid and labels

Hi!
I created simple LineChart. Chart is dynamic. It changes when
I choose something from ComboBox.
I want to customize vertical axis (mx:verticalAxis) to show
grid and label for: 0,1,2,3,4...etc.
Now I have:
<mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:LinearAxis interval="1" minimum="0"/>
</mx:verticalAxis>
But It doesn't work. Sometimes I see grid/labels in: 0,3,6
and sometimes 0,2,4,6 !! My maximum is changing but I think it
doesn't matter. I want to show label/grid for each integer number.
How to set it?
Thanks for help! :)

Hi,
Yes you can do this....you need to increase Top value for xtitle in cordalayout.cxml at this location OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\chartsupport.
Totaly we had five types in this LEFT LEGEND WITH TITLES ,RIGHT LEGEND WITH TITLES ,TOP LEGEND WITH TITLES,BOTTOM LEGEND WITH TITLES,NO LEGEND WITH TITLES.
So based on the type of view you used in you chart,change x and y axis titles,title and legends top,left,width,height as per your need.
I think you used BOTTOM LEGEND WITH TITLES,as per you requirement you need to increase xtitle-top value in order to increase size between x-axis and label.

ITunes 64 bit cutting text off labels, for example it says "sync only ticked songs and vi..."

Can anyone help me with this query?
I have 64x bit iTunes on my dell studio xps laptop. The problem is that most of the text is being cut off. This is not a new problem, its been like this for years. Its just that now i've realised i'm missing some valuble info. I'll provide some examples of what is happening:
"Sync with this iPhone over..."
"Sync only ticked songs and vi..."
"Manually manage music and..."
I'm guessing its one of those fiddly resolution problems? The strange thing is, its not like i have run out off room on the screen? So i don't understand why its cutting text off? There is LOADS of space left? Can anyone help with this?
Thank you in advance,

Have you selected a larger than standard font size in display preferences?

Using CSS to change line chart tick mark font

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't find any reference to help with this.
I have create a dark-background theme for my CSS and have run into a bit of a blind spot with the CSS. My chart has a dark background, and I can find no way to change the color of the font on the tick marks. I have resorted for now to setting the individual axis objects setTickLabelFill for now, but it would be nice to be able to set this in CSS.
With this, I can change the font size of the axis labels and tick marks, but the font name and color are ignored for the tick marks:
.axis {
-fx-font: 14px "Palatino Linotype";
-fx-text-fill: white;
Thank you for your help.
- Jim
Edited by: 871682 on Aug 2, 2011 11:47 AM

That did work in 1.3, and I hoped it made it into 2.0, but that setting didn't help.
Setting the -fx-text-fill in -axix-tick-mark .label doesn't work either, or any variation I tried.
