CT GET LABEL ATTRIBUTES

version 1

CT GET LABEL ATTRIBUTES (area; object; axis; position; orientation; format{; frequency})

The CT GET LABEL ATTRIBUTES command returns in the position, orientation, and format parameters the attributes for the label of the axis specified by area, object, and axis.

position is the position of the axis labels relative to the graph.

orientation is the orientation of each label. The following label orientations are available for each axis:

format is the display format for the label text. When the display format is "General", an empty string "" is returned in the format parameter. For more information on the special characters used in display formats, see the 4th Dimension Design Reference.

The optional parameter frequency receives the label display frequency for the series or categories axis. This parameter returns the number of categories/series of the graph for which only one label is displayed. By default, this parameter returns 1(all labels are displayed). If the axis is the Values axis, frequency returns the value -32000. For information on setting the frequency parameter, see the description of the CT SET LABEL ATTRIBUTES command.

Note: To get the text attributes of axis labels, use the CT GET CHART TEXT ATTRIBUTES command

This example returns the category axis label attributes for the chart specified by $ChartID in the $Position, $Orient, and $Format parameters.
