An AxisOrientation enumeration value specifying the axis orientation.

Name Description

Example

The example below demonstrates how to create a chart and use the AxisScaling.Orientation property to reverse the category axis orientation, so the values on the axis are displayed from maximum to minimum.

View Example

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["chartTask3"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;

// Create a chart and specify its location.
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.ColumnClustered, worksheet["B3:C5"]);
chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["H2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["N14"];

// Reverse the category axis.
chart.PrimaryAxes[0].Scaling.Orientation = AxisOrientation.MaxMin;

// Hide the legend.
chart.Legend.Visible = false;
