In the XamDataChart™ control, you can change the location, rotation angle, margin, horizontal/vertical alignment, visibility, and appearance of the axis label using the following properties of an Axis objects.
The following sample code shows how to change the location, orientation angle, and appearance of the axis label on CategoryXAxis and NumericYAxis in the XamDataChart control.
In XAML:
<ig:CategoryXAxis x:Name="xAxis"
Label="Date"
LabelTextColor="Green"
LabelLocation="OutsideBottom"
LabelExtent="40"
LabelAngle="45"
ItemsSource="{Binding}" />
<ig:NumericYAxis x:Name="yAxis"
LabelTextColor="Red"
LabelLocation="OutsideRight"
LabelExtent="40"
LabelAngle="-30" />In C#:
var xAxis = new CategoryXAxis()
{
Label = "Date",
LabelTextColor = new SolidColorBrush(Color.Green),
LabelLocation = AxisLabelsLocation.OutsideBottom,
LabelExtent = 40,
LabelAngle = 45
};
var yAxis = new NumericYAxis()
{
LabelTextColor= new SolidColorBrush(Color.Red),
LabelLocation = AxisLabelsLocation.OutsideRight,
LabelExtent = 40,
LabelAngle = -30
};The following image shows how the XamDataChart control might look with custom label settings for CategoryXAxis and NumericYAxis.
