Angle=0 Angle=-30 Angle=30
AxisLabelAngle_0 AxisLabelAngle_-30 AxisLabelAngle_30

The Angle property also specifies rotation for a data template defined in the AxisLabel.ElementTemplate property:

<Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="AxisXLabelTemplate">
        <Border BorderThickness="1" CornerRadius="9" Opacity="1.0">
            <Border.Background>
                <SolidColorBrush Color="LightBlue"/>
            </Border.Background>
            <Label Content="{Binding Path=Content}" 
                   Padding="5,1,5,1.5" 
                   Foreground="DarkSlateBlue" 
                   FontSize="12" />
        </Border>
    </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
...
<dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisX>
    <dxc:AxisX2D Visible="True">
        <dxc:AxisX2D.Label>
            <dxc:AxisLabel Angle="45" 
                           TextPattern="{}{V} year" 
                           ElementTemplate="{StaticResource AxisXLabelTemplate}"/>
        </dxc:AxisX2D.Label>
    </dxc:AxisX2D>
</dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisX>
