// Customize the X-axis labels' appearance.
diagram.AxisX.Label.Angle = -30;
diagram.AxisX.Label.Staggered = true;

diagram.AxisX.Label.TextColor = Color.Bisque

' As opposed to the above properties, the following ones
' will not affect custom labels, if they exist for the axes.

diagram.AxisX.Label.EndText = " some postfix."
