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
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.
