This renderer uses a separate rendering engine to draw the text on the canvas. Two modes of rendering the text are available. If the browser has native font support for canvas fonts (currently Mozila 3.5 and Safari 4), you can enable text rendering with the canvas fillText method. You do so by setting the “enableFontSupport” option to true.</p><p>Browsers lacking native font support will have the text drawn on the canvas using the Hershey font metrics. Even if the “enableFontSupport” option is true non-supporting browsers will still render with the Hershey font.</p><!--START_ND_SUMMARY--><divclass=Summary><divclass=STitle>Summary</div><divclass=SBorder><tableborder=0cellspacing=0cellpadding=0class=STable><trclass="SMain"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer">$.jqplot.<wbr>CanvasAxisTickRenderer</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>Renderer to draw axis ticks with a canvas element to support advanced featrues such as rotated text. </td></tr><trclass="SGroup SIndent1"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.Properties">Properties</a></td><tdclass=SDescription></td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2 SMarked"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.mark"id=link1onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt1', 'link1')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt1')">mark</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>tick mark on the axis. </td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.showMark"id=link2onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt2', 'link2')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt2')">showMark</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>wether or not to show the mark on the axis.</td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2 SMarked"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.showGridline"id=link3onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt3', 'link3')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt3')">showGridline</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>wether or not to draw the gridline on the grid at this tick.</td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.isMinorTick"id=link4onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt4', 'link4')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt4')">isMinorTick</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>if this is a minor tick.</td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2 SMarked"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.angle"id=link5onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt5', 'link5')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt5')">angle</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>angle of text, measured clockwise from x axis.</td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.markSize"id=link6onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt6', 'link6')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt6')">markSize</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>Length of the tick marks in pixels. </td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2 SMarked"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.show"id=link7onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt7', 'link7')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt7')">show</a></td><tdclass=SDescription>wether or not to show the tick (mark and label).</td></tr><trclass="SProperty SIndent2"><tdclass=SEntry><ahref="#$.jqplot.CanvasAxisTickRenderer.showLabel"id=link8onMouseOver="ShowTip(event, 'tt8', 'link8')"onMouseOut="HideTip('tt8')">showLabel</a></td><tdclass=SDescriptio
