I have box plot graph with numerical values on the left axis running from 1 to 10. On the right axis I would like to display text descriptions instead of numbers 1 to 10. Can be achieved? If yes, how?

Stephan

Hi Stephan,
If you have labels in your points and you want to show them, you simply need this:
Code: Select all
Series1.VertAxis := aBothVertAxis;
Chart1.Axes.Right.LabelStyle := talText;

Thanks for quick response. Unfortunately it's not quite what I looking for.
In the picture (see url) you will see the numbers 5, 6 and 7 on the left Y-axis. On the right axis I would like to show text descriptions for the three numbers.

Hi Stephan,
If I understand well you would like to show a custom text in the right axis at the same Y position than the left axis labels. In that case, the easiest way could be using OnGetAxisLabel to customize your labels:
Code: Select all
procedure TForm1.Chart1GetAxisLabel(Sender: TChartAxis;
Series: TChartSeries; ValueIndex: Integer; var LabelText: String);
begin
if ((sender = Chart1.Axes.Right) and (LabelText = '6')) then
LabelText := 'my description';
end;
Note that you should activate the right axis for the series. Something as said before:
Code: Select all
Series1.VertAxis := aBothVertAxis;

Excellent. That does the job!
