Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Behavior)]
public int MaxLineCount { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraChartsLocalizableCategory(XtraChartsCategory.Behavior)>
Public Property MaxLineCount As Integer

Property Value

Type	Description
Int32	An integer value which is the number of text lines. Should be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 20.

Remarks

When the width of axis labels is limited by the AxisLabel.MaxWidth property value or if an axis label’s text contains new line characters, its text is split across multiple lines. In this case, the MaxLineCount property helps you control the number of text lines allowed when axis labels are too lengthy.

Note that if a label’s length exceeds the limit defined by the MaxLineCount property, the last line of text will be cut off by an ellipsis. To force an axis label to fully display its contents, without regard to the label’s size, set the MaxLineCount property to 0.

The following images demonstrate how these properties work.
