Issue
I need to change the properties (like size of font) of the title axis (circled in red)
I'm using the apache-poi library and here's the part of the code which generates both titles
XDDFCategoryAxis bottomAxis = chart.createCategoryAxis(AxisPosition.BOTTOM);
bottomAxis.setTitle("Client Name");
XDDFValueAxis leftAxis = chart.createValueAxis(AxisPosition.LEFT);
leftAxis.setTitle("Value ("+clientDataObjectRequest.getDataFormatCodeValue()+")");
leftAxis.setCrosses(AxisCrosses.AUTO_ZERO);
leftAxis.setCrossBetween(AxisCrossBetween.BETWEEN);
I've already tried to use the method getOrAddTextProperties().setFontSize() but this change only the size of the labels (client names and numbers) and not the title itself.
In yellow, I would like to add the precisely number of the value. For example, the value of "client 3" is 53,78, so I need to put this value in the chart just after the end of the bar (marked as yellow).
Solution
The question about formatting the axes titles is answered already. See Resizing legend and axis title in a apache poi bar chart.
"To add the precisely number of the value" to the data bars means to have data labels set. This is not directly supported ny Apache POI until now. So using low level org.openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.chart.* classes is necessary. See https://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=user%3a3915431%20add%20data%20labels. Of course this is not very comfortable. So I have tried to create a method void setDataLabels(XDDFChartData.Series series, int pos, boolean... show) for this.
There int pos can be one of the following:
INT_BEST_FIT 1 - positions data label at best fit to be readable
INT_B 2 - positions data label at bottom
INT_CTR 3 - positions data label at center
INT_IN_BASE 4 - positions data label inside at base
INT_IN_END 5 - positions data label inside at the end
INT_L 6 - positions data label at left
INT_OUT_END 7 - positions data label outside at the end
INT_R 8 - positions data label at right
INT_T 9 - positions data label at top
Not all chart types support all positions.
The boolean... show is a list of boolean to tell what shall visible (true) or not visible (false) in the data labels. Sequence is as follows:
ShowVal, ShowLegendKey, ShowCatName, ShowSerName, ShowPercent, ShowBubbleSize, ShowLeaderLines
