I think i found a bug similar to issue 104
I have a bar graph. My axis is fixed with constraint and i use padding left on my plot area and custom label for my X axis.
It is import to show the last bars so my xRange starts on the end with the code below
plotSpace.xRange = [CPTPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPTDecimalFromFloat([[posicoes lastObject] floatValue]) length:CPTDecimalFromFloat(tipoEscalaGrafico*60*13)];
Everything works perfectly except from the label.
On the print bellow you can see the problem

The label doesn't respect the padding.
If i scroll the graph then it respect the padding as the screen bellow

I have a class that inherits from CPTXYGraph and i did the method below to add custom labl=els
-(void)setarLabelsEixoX:(NSArray *)labels naPosicao:(NSArray *)posicaoLabels;{
CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPTXYAxisSet *)self.axisSet;
CPTXYAxis *x = axisSet.xAxis;
x.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
NSUInteger labelLocation = 0;
NSMutableArray *customLabels = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[labels count]];
for ( NSNumber *tickLocation in posicaoLabels ) {
CPTAxisLabel *newLabel = [[CPTAxisLabel alloc] initWithText:[labels objectAtIndex:labelLocation++] textStyle:x.labelTextStyle];
newLabel.tickLocation = [tickLocation decimalValue];
newLabel.offset = x.labelOffset;
newLabel.alignment = CPTAlignmentCenter;
[customLabels addObject:newLabel];
}
axisSet.xAxis.majorTickLocations = (NSSet*)posicaoLabels;
x.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:customLabels];
}
I did a little testing with the latest Core Plot code. I don't see an issue. Did you verify that the tick location of the errant label was actually outside the plot range? What version of Core Plot are you using?

I'm working on the axisLabels and need to make the labels side by side with no space in between. However it seems the labels are autosized to the text. Is there a way to set the width of the labels?
CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPTXYAxisSet *)self.weightHistoryChart.axisSet;
CPTXYAxis *x = axisSet.xAxis;
x.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
NSArray *customTickLocations = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#1.0, #3.0, #5.0, nil];
NSMutableSet *customLabels = [NSMutableSet setWithCapacity:3];
for ( NSNumber *tickLocation in customTickLocations ) {
CPTTextLayer *layer = [[CPTTextLayer alloc] initWithText:#"label"];
CPTAxisLabel *newLabel = [[CPTAxisLabel alloc] initWithContentLayer:layer];
newLabel.tickLocation = tickLocation;
newLabel.offset = 0;
[newLabel.contentLayer setBackgroundColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor];
[customLabels addObject:newLabel];
}
x.axisLabels = customLabels;
With space:
Remove space:
You can set the left and right padding on the CPTTextLayer to leave extra space on the sides around the text. However, if all you want is a solid rectangle behind the labels, it might look better to add a layer annotation behind the labels.
Am trying to plot a simple statistics using Core Plot in an iPhone App. I initially used the labeling policy as CPTAxisLabelingPolicyAutomatic for both the axes, and the grid lines appeared fine as here :
You can see that the graph has both vertical and horizontal grid lines. Then, I changed the labeling policy to
axisSet.xAxis.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
axisSet.yAxis.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyAutomatic;
NSUInteger labelLocation = 0;
NSMutableArray *customLabels = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:xAxisLabels.count];
CPTMutableTextStyle *textStyle = [[CPTMutableTextStyle alloc] init];
textStyle.color = [CPTColor lightGrayColor];
for (NSNumber *tickLocation in customTickLocations) {
CPTAxisLabel *newLabel = [[CPTAxisLabel alloc]
initWithText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",(NSDate *)[xAxisLabels objectAtIndex:labelLocation++]] textStyle:textStyle];
newLabel.tickLocation = [tickLocation decimalValue];
newLabel.rotation = 25.0;
newLabel.offset = 10.0;
[customLabels addObject:newLabel];
}
axisSet.xAxis.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:customLabels];
But, since when I added custom labeling for X-Axis, the X-Axis grid lines (i.e. the vertical ones) are not appearing. Only horizontal grid lines are seen, as you can see in the below screenshot from the App :
The CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone labeling policy does not create any labels or tick marks. You need to create sets of locations and set the majorTickLocations and/or minorTickLocations.
Here's some sample code from the Plot Gallery example app:
NSSet *majorTickLocations = [NSSet setWithObjects:[NSDecimalNumber zero],
[NSDecimalNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:30],
[NSDecimalNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:50],
[NSDecimalNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:85],
[NSDecimalNumber numberWithUnsignedInteger:100],
nil];
xAxis.majorTickLocations = majorTickLocations;
The tick locations are often the same as the label locations, but they don't have to be.
Thank you, #Erik Skroch ! What worked for me was a simple change in the labeling policy from
axisSet.xAxis.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
to
axisSet.xAxis.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyFixedInterval;
This was instigated by your statement :
"The CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone labeling policy does not create any labels or tick marks."
I'm working on a Core Plot project and have run into a problem. My X-axis labels are all more than one line. I want them to be perfectly centered and the only way i've been able to do that so far is to manually add spaces to the NSString that is the label. Please see the code below...
NSDictionary *dataTemp=[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:white,#"
White\rBuilding\r(220 max)",rec,#"Rec. Hall\r(240 max)",im,#" IM\rBuilding\r(60
max)",fit,#"Fitness\r Loft\r(40 max)",nil];
I would think there is a way to align the labels programmatically but I have yet to find it. I'd appreciate any help. Here's a screenshot of what the graph labels looks like
Here's the code where I define the x-axis labels...
//Array containing all the names that will be displayed on the X axis
dates = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Rec. Hall\r(240 max)", #" White\rBuilding\r(220
max)", #" IM\rBuilding\r(60 max)",
#"Fitness\r Loft\r(40 max)", nil];
And here's the code where I make the labels on the chart
//X labels
int labelLocations = 0;
NSMutableArray *customXLabels = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSString *day in dates) {
CPTAxisLabel *newLabel = [[CPTAxisLabel alloc] initWithText:day
textStyle:x.labelTextStyle];
newLabel.tickLocation = [[NSNumber numberWithInt:labelLocations] decimalValue];
newLabel.offset = x.labelOffset + x.majorTickLength;
[customXLabels addObject:newLabel];
labelLocations++;
[newLabel release];
}
x.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:customXLabels];
This should work - you should try using the textAlignment property on the labels:
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
As #Martin noted, you could also add UILineBreakModeWordWrap so line-breaks only occur after whole words:
label.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
Make sure the text style used when creating the labels (x.labelTextStyle) includes the following property setting:
textStyle.textAlignment = CPTTextAlignmentCenter;
I'm having some trouble with the axis labels. It seems my custom labels aren't visible outside of the plot area. Looking at the Design Overview for core plot, the axis labels should be outside of the plot area. Any ideas on how I can make them visible outside the plot area?
The code/image below shows how the labels only show within the plot area. If I change the label offset to a positive number, the labels do not show at all. I'm using Core Plot 0.9 with iOS 5.
Thanks in advance!
CPTTheme *theme = [CPTTheme themeNamed:kCPTPlainWhiteTheme];
graph = [[theme newGraph] retain];;
CPTGraphHostingView *hostingView = (CPTGraphHostingView *)self.view;
hostingView.hostedGraph = graph;
graph.paddingLeft = 40.0;
graph.paddingTop = 40.0;
graph.paddingRight = 40.0;
graph.paddingBottom = 40.0;
graph.masksToBorder = NO;
// ... setup axis
axisSet.yAxis.majorIntervalLength = CPTDecimalFromInt(0);
axisSet.yAxis.minorTicksPerInterval = 0;
axisSet.yAxis.labelingPolicy = CPTAxisLabelingPolicyNone;
// if this number is negative, the labels show,
// if it is positive, that is outside the plot area, the labels are hidden.
axisSet.yAxis.labelOffset = -20;
// ... setup labels
NSMutableArray *labels = [NSMutableArray array];
for (int i = 0; i < reportData.rowCount; ++i) {
CPTAxisLabel *label = [[CPTAxisLabel alloc] initWithText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Test Row %i", i] textStyle:labelStyle];
label.tickLocation = CPTDecimalFromInt(i);
label.offset = axisSet.yAxis.labelOffset;
label.alignment = CPTAlignmentLeft;
[labels addObject:label];
[label release];
}
axisSet.yAxis.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:labels];
Set some padding on the plot area frame in addition to or instead of the graph itself.
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingTop = 20.0;
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingBottom = 50.0;
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingLeft = 50.0;
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingRight = 50.0;
This code is from the axis demo in the Plot Gallery example app.
I was having exactly the same problem and tried every solution I could find online for this with no success.
Finally I got it to work by turning off the border masking, like this:
graph.plotAreaFrame.masksToBorder = NO;
I am using Core Plot alpha release 0.2 and generating a plot with custom labels. The labels are appearing in the correct location but I have no tick marks. I have tried every combination of these settings:
x.majorIntervalLength = [[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:#"5"] decimalValue];
x.minorTicksPerInterval = 0;
x.majorTickLineStyle = lineStyle;
x.minorTickLineStyle = lineStyle;
x.axisLineStyle = lineStyle;
x.minorTickLength = 5.0f;
x.majorTickLength = 7.0f;
x.tickDirection=CPSignNegative;
I've also added padding to the bottom of the graph using:
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingBottom=10.0;
which has the effect of moving the X axis 'up' but no tick marks are visible. This seems like it should be pretty simple, generate a tick mark at the location of the custom label. But I don't see any way to do it.
Ideas?
**** Here's the code I'm using to generate the labels and tick marks, with no luck *
for (int i = 0; i < [xAxisLabels count]; i++) {
NSDictionary * labelDict = [xAxisLabels objectAtIndex:i];
NSString *label=[labelDict valueForKey:#"element"];
NSNumber *offset=[labelDict valueForKey:#"x"];
float location=[offset floatValue]*multiplier;
CPAxisLabel *newLabel = [[CPAxisLabel alloc] initWithText: label textStyle:labelStyle];
newLabel.tickLocation = CPDecimalFromFloat(location);
newLabel.offset = x.labelOffset + x.majorTickLength;
[customTicks addObject:[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithDecimal:CPDecimalFromFloat(location)]];
[customLabels addObject:newLabel];
[newLabel release];
}
x.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:customLabels];
[x setMinorTickLocations:[NSSet setWithArray:customTicks]];
[x setMajorTickLocations:[NSSet setWithArray:customTicks]];
[customTicks release];
With CPAxisLabelingPolicyNone you need to provide the tick locations (minorTickLocations and majorTickLocations), too.
