#Remarks

Use the TextPattern property to define a pattern for displaying text by axis labels. Various placeholders enclosed in braces correspond to the available display patterns. For example, you can use either the {A} pattern for the X-axis, or the {V} pattern for the Y-axis, together with the format specifiers.

The available placeholders are detailed below.

Pattern Description
{A} Use it to display a series point arguments.
{V} Use it to display a series point values.

You can also use standard and custom format specifiers, together with the placeholders to format numeric and date/time values (e.g., {V:F1}).

The image below shows this property in action with {V:F1} patterns that are used to format axis value (Y-axis) labels.
