Use the AxisBase.Label property to access an instance of the AxisLabel class.
Example
You can specify label properties or define a data template for axis labels to change their appearance.
This example specifies the following properties for X-axis labels: Angle, Background, FontSize, FontStyle, FontWeight, Foreground, and TextPattern.
The example defines a data template for Y-axis labels. Assign this template to the ElementTemplate property to apply it to labels.
