[Question] Is it possible to change the color of the value label in v0.9.5?

[slavko-m]

According to some previous issues, I see that there was a ValueColor property of Entry, but now there is no such a property. There is a TextColor property , but it doesn't change the color of the value label - color of the label is always the same as the Color property of the ChartEntry.

The object got redone and that property got renamed to just Color. Not sure why that was renamed as I agree it's a little confusing.

[slavko-m]

So it is not possible to have different color for value text and bar color (in a BarChart for example)? Color property will set both bar and text of the value to the same color.

[eman1986]

No not currently. It makes sense they should match so you know what lines up to what

[slavko-m]

OK, thanks for the info. It would be good to have that, because sometimes even if the color of the bar is visible, the text itself is not, like in the following example (green color). If I change the background to white, then the yellow text is not clearly visible. So, putting the text color in, for example, white, will be much better in this case.

[eman1986]

I'm open to changing it so you can do that. You make a good point

@eman1986 any update? I have the same issue. I need to show a yellow bar on a white background, but yellow text is not visible, so I'd like to use a different text color. The tight coupling between text color and bar color should be removed.

I haven't gotten to this yet, I do accept pull requests if someone wanted to work on this.

[petro2050]

@eman1986 submitted a PR. If it looks good, I'd love to see a new Nuget soon as this is a roadblock for me.

[eman1986]

I pushed it in, I'll work on getting a nuget version up soon

[petro2050]

@eman1986 thanks!

[eman1986]

I'm going to try getting this published this weekend, last couple days got away from me.

[eman1986]

@petro2050 I have pushed up a new version with your PR changes.

[petro2050]

@eman1986 Thanks. Just pulled in the update and it's looking good.
