AxisLabel Class
Contains settings for axis labels.
Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v19.1.dll
Declaration
public class AxisLabel :
ChartTextElement,
IAxisLabel,
ISupportFlowDirection,
IWeakEventListener,
IPatternHolderRelated API Members
The following members return AxisLabel objects:
Remarks
The AxisLabel class provides different settings that define the position of axis labels (AxisLabel.Staggered) and text format (AxisLabel.BeginText, AxisLabel.EndText).
An instance of the AxisLabel class is available via the AxisBase.Label property.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to change the appearance of axis labels, for example, to rotate them by a specific angle. To accomplish this, it is necessary to create a DataTemplate that specifies the appearance of axis labels, and add it to a window’s resources collection. Then, this template can be applied to an axis label via its ChartTextElement.ElementTemplate property.
