Property Value

Type Description
AxisAlignment

An AxisAlignment enumeration value that specifies the axis alignment.

Available values:

Name Description Image
Near

The axis is displayed at the left or bottom side of the diagram, depending on its type and orientation.

Axis Alignment - Near

Far

The axis is displayed at the right or top side of the diagram, depending on its type and orientation.

Axis Alignment - Far

Zero

The axis intercepts another primary axis at the zero level.

This alignment type is applicable to primary axes only.

The zero level passes through the zero for an axis of values and depends on a series SeriesBase.ArgumentScaleType property value for an axis of arguments:

  • for the Qualitative scale, the zero level is specified by the first point’s argument,

  • for the Numerical scale, the zero level equals the zero value,

  • for the DateTime scale, the zero level is equal to the earliest date.

Axis Alignment - Zero

Center

The axis is positioned in the center of chart plot area.

This alignment type is applicable to primary axes only.

Axis Alignment - Center

Example

This example illustrates how to configure the axis element appearance and layout:

The following markup configures options of a y-axis to resemble to its appearance in the image above:

<dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisY>
    <dxc:AxisY2D TitlePosition="Outside" 
                 LabelPosition="Inside" 
                 LabelAlignment="Far"
                 Alignment="Near">
        <dxc:AxisY2D.NumericScaleOptions>
            <dxc:ContinuousNumericScaleOptions AutoGrid="False" 
                                               GridSpacing="10"/>
        </dxc:AxisY2D.NumericScaleOptions>
        <dxc:AxisY2D.WholeRange>
            <dxc:Range dxc:AxisY2D.AlwaysShowZeroLevel="False"/>
        </dxc:AxisY2D.WholeRange>
        <dxc:AxisY2D.Label>
            <dxc:AxisLabel TextPattern="{}{V} °F" 
                           FontSize="10"/>
        </dxc:AxisY2D.Label>
        <dxc:AxisY2D.Title>
            <dxc:AxisTitle Content="Temperature"  
                           Visible="True" 
                           Alignment="Center" 
                           FontSize="12"/>
        </dxc:AxisY2D.Title>
    </dxc:AxisY2D>
</dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisY>
