CaptionStyle – caption style

Captions on 3D charts are normally angled to match the slope of the axis. The text may be more readable at small sizes if written horizontally.

chSet 'Cstyle' 'flat'

will achieve this effect. You may also want to place the X and Y captions ‘atend’ with this style.

Caption alignment can be set with:

chSet 'Cstyle' 'left|centre|right'

The default is both left and right-hand axes to show centred text when this style is applied to the y-axis. You may also set the line-spacing for multi-line ‘atend’ captions:

chSet 'Cstyle' 'pitch=120%'

The pitch may be given as a percentage, or an absolute distance in points.

To include a defined effect (such as an SVG shadow filter) to the text, give the effect id here:

chSet 'Cstyle' 'effect=98'

You can list multiple effects (chained with ‘+’) to apply several filters.
