Reiner,The current implementation does not take into account correctly the combination of label offset, size and label alignment. The algorithm is optimized for pads/canvas with a "screen-like" aspect ratio. I hope to find some time to optimize this algorithm for a more general case. Also the position of the axis title is not optimum. I had several reports of overlapping between the title and the labels. Meanwhile, I have made a "quick fix" to support negative offsets. You can play with this parameter to optimize the position. > > > While I was playing with this example I noticed an other strange behavior: > When you set the labelOffset to a negative value the labels are still painted > below the X - axis.

This small problem is now fixed in our development version (will appear as 1.03/09). Rene Brun >
