Candlestick-Chart with title on x axis

Question

I wanna use the Candlestick-Chart from amCharts with a title on the X-axis. (Like the title on the Y-axis.)

Y-axis Example:

"valueAxes": [ {
    "position": "left",
     "title": "That is the title on the y axis"
  } ]

Example: http://www.amcharts.com/demos/candlestick-chart/

Is that possible?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible.

Simply add title property to categoryAxis :

"categoryAxis": {
  "parseDates": true,
  "title": "That is the title on the X-axis"
}

Here's a working example:

 var chart = AmCharts.makeChart( "chartdiv", { "type": "serial", "theme": "light", "dataDateFormat":"YYYY-MM-DD", "valueAxes": [ { "position": "left", "title": "That is the title on the Y-axis" } ],

"highField": "high", "lineColor": "#7f8da9", "lineAlpha": 1, "lowField": "low", "fillAlphas": 0.9, "negativeFillColors": "#db4c3c", "negativeLineColor": "#db4c3c", "openField": "open", "title": "Price:", "type": "candlestick", "valueField": "close" } ], "chartScrollbar": { "graph": "g1", "graphType": "line", "scrollbarHeight": 30 }, "chartCursor": { "valueLineEnabled": true,
