AndroidPlot: Positioning and Aligning domain value labels

Question

I'm having trouble positioning and aligning the domain values in AndroidPlot. I've attached a screenshot of what I have so far.

Problem 1 (Positioning): Since I'm formatting Unix timestamp as MMM-yy and setting the domain label orientation to -90 degrees, the labels tends to overlap the graph area (as shown below). Is there a way to move the domain labels? I prefer not to use setDomainLabelVerticalOffset() as the XYGraphWidget doesn't re-size itself to accommodate the changes from offsetting.

Problem 2 (Aligning): The domain labels seem to be aligned from bottom. This is very clear if you look at "Jul-07" and "May-09" labels in the screenshot below. Is is possible to align the labels from top?

Answer 1

One thing you can do is set the justification of the labels being drawn. If memory serves, the default is center justified and what you probably want is right justified:

plot.getGraphWidget().getDomainLabelPaint().setTextAlign(Paint.Align.RIGHT);
