VB.NET

Public Property Alignment As AxisAlignment

Property Value

Type	Description
AxisAlignment	An AxisAlignment enumeration value that specifies the axis alignment.

Available values:

Name	Description
Near	The axis is displayed at the left or bottom side of the diagram, depending on its type and orientation.
Far	The axis is displayed at the right or top side of the diagram, depending on its type and orientation.
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.ScaleType property value for an axis of arguments: - for the ScaleType.Qualitative scale, the zero level is specified by the first point’s argument, - for the ScaleType.Numerical scale, the zero level equals the zero value, - for the ScaleType.DateTime scale, the zero level is equal to the earliest date.
Center	The axis is positioned in the center of chart plot area. This alignment type is applicable to primary axes only.

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:

                           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>
