Constructor Detail

### CategoryLabelPosition

    public CategoryLabelPosition()

  Creates a new position record with default settings.

### CategoryLabelPosition

    public CategoryLabelPosition(org.jfree.ui.RectangleAnchor categoryAnchor,
                                 org.jfree.text.TextBlockAnchor labelAnchor)

  Creates a new category label position record.

  Parameters:
    `categoryAnchor` - the category anchor (`null` not permitted).
    `labelAnchor` - the label anchor (`null` not permitted).

### CategoryLabelPosition

    public CategoryLabelPosition(org.jfree.ui.RectangleAnchor categoryAnchor,
                                 org.jfree.text.TextBlockAnchor labelAnchor,
                                 CategoryLabelWidthType widthType,
                                 float widthRatio)

  Creates a new category label position record.

  Parameters:
    `categoryAnchor` - the category anchor (`null` not permitted).
    `labelAnchor` - the label anchor (`null` not permitted).
    `widthType` - the width type (`null` not permitted).
    `widthRatio` - the maximum label width as a percentage (of the category space or the range space).

### CategoryLabelPosition

    public CategoryLabelPosition(org.jfree.ui.RectangleAnchor categoryAnchor,
                                 org.jfree.text.TextBlockAnchor labelAnchor,
                                 org.jfree.ui.TextAnchor rotationAnchor,
                                 double angle,
                                 CategoryLabelWidthType widthType,
                                 float widthRatio)

  Creates a new position record. The item label anchor is a point relative to the data item (dot, bar or other visual item) on a chart. The item label is aligned by aligning the text anchor with the item label anchor.

  Parameters:
    `categoryAnchor` - the category anchor (`null` not permitted).
    `labelAnchor` - the label anchor (`null` not permitted).
    `rotationAnchor` - the rotation anchor (`null` not permitted).
    `angle` - the rotation angle (`null` not permitted).
    `widthType` - the width type (`null` not permitted).
    `widthRatio` - the maximum label width as a percentage (of the category space or the range space).
