Label along the line in Flex LineChart - apache-flex

I'd like to put a label to each LineSeries on my Flex LineChart so it will be shown next to the line (along it). Any relatively easy way to archieve that?

Well what Mike is asking is quite reasonable, as for the colorblind people Legend might not work well, so they need a strong visual indication that, which line is representing which series.
Can't think of anything else though... :(

How is your question different from this example: LineChart and AreaChart controls example (scroll to the bottom)?

I think you'll find that what you are asking will clutter your chart.
Perhaps instead, you add a mouseover event handler to each legend item and when the event fires, highlight the series in one way or another.
When I did this, I simply faded all series except for the one selected.

You can use the CartesianDataCanvas to position your labels.

Xamarin.Forms - Using Grid inside Button

I couldn't find the answer to my question anywhere, so I hope I don't ask something twice.
When I need to divide a ListView cell in my Xamarin.Forms app, I simply use Grid to do that and that works perfectly fine. Now I need to do the same in a Button, but I have no idea how and if this is even possible.
I need to create a grid like this:
(black contour is the button, red lines are de grid lines)
Is this even possible?
I hope someone can help.

creating a round list in CSS (for a round menubar)

I am really hoping someone can help me. I am trying to create a round menubar in CSS and I've searched and searched for solutions but have found nothing. I know how to create round areas (by setting the radius), and I know how to create a simple straight line menu using <ul> & <li> but, as said, I want to create a round one.
there is a picture of something alike what I'd love to get working:
If anyone could help me on this I'd be so thoroughly grateful.
Closest things I know of are these:

Is that what you're after?
This menu looks almost like Path's Button.
You can find the link to Path's Button here.
You just need to modify it a bit so the menu displayed in full sphere.
This isn't something you really want to be doing in pure CSS.
You may be able to make circle shapes with border-radius, but you're not actually making a circular object -- it's still a regular box shape as far as the browser is concerned, just with the corners rounded off. This has absolutely no bearing at all on your ability to do anything else to do with circles or curves in CSS.
Yes, it's possible to do something along the lines you're after, by putting every character into its own element, and styling each of them with a specific position, but that's going to be painful, inflexible, and difficult to work with. If you really want to do this, there's a code generator you could try out here, but I'd say you're barking up the wrong tree.
If you want to do this kind of thing properly, what you really need to be thinking about is doing it in graphical format, using either Canvas or SVG, plus plenty of javascript code.
I'd suggest looking into a JS library like Raphael for this; there are people who have tried similar things already using Raphael, which may help you -- see here, for example: Radial Pie Menu With Raphael JS
Hope that helps.

Dojo Graph Tooltip Arrow Appears Incorrectly

For some reason, the arrow on the tooltip for each graph point appears below the actual label(see image). I have tried doing everything to move it and can not figure out why this is happening. The tooltip is generated automatically by dojo's chart library. It appears fine in the demos.
Does anybody have an idea why?
EDIT:
I am using Dojo 1.7.2.
The code is question is
this.linePlotName is part of the object that the method below resides in.
var anim = new dojox.charting.action2d.Tooltip(newLineChart, this.linePlotName);
I had the same issue after I upgraded my Dojo from 1.6 to 1.7.2, but this issue was actually a bug and it is fixed now in 1.7.3: http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/15016
Upgrade and it should be fine.
It's hard to say, without seeing what else is going on in your code. However, it's important to keep in mind that the tooltip's behavior is influenced by the widget/div/frame it's contained in. If there's not enough room to render the tooltip graphic on top of the plot line, it will be drawn under it. Try increasing the size of the container the chart is contained in, and try increasing the size of the chart itself, so there's plenty of room above the plot line for the tooltip to appear, or even try just scrolling up/down. It's best to rule out the easy fixes first. :) If that doesn't work, please comment, and we can go from there...

QTableWidget colors, styles

I'm quite new to Qt and I'd appreciate the ability to customize a QTableWidget. I found a nice CSS-like interface using the stylesheets as shown here
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qtablewidget
However, I need to change some more specific styles (like grid color, items background color and so on).
I couldn't find any documentation describing the properties that might be changed via stylesheets.
Thanks for any help.
EDIT
Thanks, it helped a bit...however i still missed some other properties as grid thickness, but i "solved" it by inserting a row/column with 1px height/width to double the gridline :) And the QTableWidgetItem::setBackgroundColor() was also helpful.
However, I'm still facing some issues with QTableWidgetItem, the text keeps hiding if the column is too slim...only 3 dots appear. Dont you have an idea? I need the text to be visible, even if a bit clipped, but from the problem definition I cannot resize the column.
Isn't

CSS: On-mouse-over functionality from plot covered by a 'sheen' layer

I have a javascript plot on my page with "data point highlighter" functionality: when the mouse hovers over the point, you can see the coordinates popup. I also want to place a semi-transparent "sheen" image layer over the plot to make it look glossy. I can achieve this with the z-index, but the on-mouse-over functionality of the js plot stops working. Is there a way to have the sheen layer on top and still have the on-mouse-over of the layer below (the plot layer)? Many thanks...
I can't think of a way to do that easily, apart from splitting apart the plot image and the area that reacts to the mouseover, and placing the latter above the sheen - which may be bothersome to do.
If it's semi-transparent, though, would it be an option to do the whole thing the other way round? Placing the "sheen" below the plot, and making the plot semi-transparent?
This is not possible. Shame.
Actually, I believe it is possible, but it's a bit of a messy workaround, and, in essence, involves capturing mouse/cursor position x/y location and mapping that to the plot layer -- not the easiest or optimal task, let alone completely inefficient. I realize this is an older question, but thought I'd point this out for future users.
Update: Firefox has a CSS property geared toward this in the 3.6: http://demos.hacks.mozilla.org/openweb/pointer-events/
