Module - GD::Graph - need \n in title and x_label(s)	Can't Post

Greets,

I'd like to ad a line break in my graph title and also the x_label(s)

No workie:

$mygraph->set(

$title => "Field $field_name: \n $graph_title_date Through $graph_title_date2",

);

Is there someone here that can clue me in how to pass a newline char to the GD module?

Much appreciated.

what do you mean by it doesn't work? Dos the script crash or does the newline get stripped out or something else? If you are viewing the output in a browser newlines have no affect, you have to use html code for that.

Hi,

The script doesn't crash. I'm referring to the actual PNG file not an HTML page. The \n displays as an odd character in the graph.

The main problem I'm facing is the x_label(s) are lengthy timestamps and overlap (unless I use x_labels_vertical =>1 which is not desired by my client).

So I'd like to incorporate a line break in the labels so they are readable.

Thanks.

btw... I'm aware of GD::Text::Wrap but I couldn't get it to fly and coundn't find any examples of anyone doing that with labels.

Suggestions?
