Hi
I am drawing a vertical barchart for project vs start date
The vertical bars are for projects.
Now, at the top of each bar I also want to display the number of
projects.
Also I want to show the color convention i.e
Say I have different bars for H.R projects,etc...
Now,if HR project bars are of blue colors then at the side of graph I
want to show a small rectangle of blue color with "H.R project" beside
it.
How should I do this?
Regards,
Ketul

Ketul,

You use .barLabels.fontSize, .barLabels.fontName,
..barLabels.Nudge, and .barLabelFormat to control
what prints at the top of each bar.

You use the legend object to create a legend for
a barchart that shows a "swatch" of the color/pattern
for the bar along with a description for that series.

You should probably print out and review all the
examples that come with ReportLab/Graphics. I know
they helped me a lot.
