Casting Font object into Element--- Need Help!!

[madumm]

Hi all

I really need a solution for the following::
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Font newFont= domainAxis.getTickLabelFont();
Element newFont = (Element)newFont;

newFont.setAttribute("kerning", "no");
newFont.setAttribute("family","SansSerif");
newFont.setAttribute("name","SansSerif");
newFont.setAttribute("style","plain");
newFont.setAttribute("size","10");

domainAxis.setsetTickLabelFont((Font)newFont);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But this gives a Casting exception!!
Ho to do the casting

Ok now post the code that gave you the class cast exception because the code you posted does not compile. You declared two variables called newFont

Font newFont= domainAxis.getTickLabelFont();
Element newFont = (Element)newFont;

(notice how I used code tags there) that will not compile and will say newFont is already defined.
