Applies to

grDispAttr objects in a graph control

Description

This property specifies the rotation for the baseline of the Axis text objects in a graph control.

Usage

In a painter

To set the rotation of text objects within a graph:

  2. Select the desired text object from the Text Object list box.

In scripts

Escapement takes an integer value that specifies the rotation in tenths of a degree. 0 is horizontal. A value of 900 rotates the text 90 degrees; 450 rotates the text 45 degrees. The following example sets the rotation of the Value Axis Label to 90 degrees:

gr_1.Value.LabelDispAttr.Escapement = 900
