Re: Sqr - Chart Font Problem

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ONTKO.COM>]

Fellow PRINT-CHART Sufferers,

There is no way to directly control the font-sizes in your chart
(it's one of the things on my list of suggested enhancements to
SQR, see http://www.ontko.com/sqr/enhancements.html).

The best you can do is to increase or reduce the size of the chart
or move the legend around in hopes that SQR will pick a different
set of sizes for you.  Sometimes, if you give SQR more room, it will
cause a smaller font to be used.  I also recall that if you change
the proportions (the ratio of the X size to the Y size) there is
a magic ratio near 0.7:1.0 that causes a dramatic change in the
look (i.e., it changes from a "portrait" look to a "landscape"
look near that number, or was it 1.0:0.7?).

My best advice it to play around with it.  Also, there is a little
bit of space around the entire diagram that is unused.  You may
want to try "oversizing" the chart and "reusing" the space for
other things on the report.

Hope this helps.
