Property Value

Type	Description
IEnumerable	A collection that is used to generate custom labels.

To generate custom axis labels from a ViewModel, bind an axis’s CustomLabelItemsSource to a collection of objects that contain custom axis label settings. Use the CustomLabelItemTemplate or CustomLabelItemTemplateSelector property to specify how to display custom axis labels.

Example

The following example generates custom labels for an x-axis:

XAML

<dxh:HeatmapControl>
    <dxh:HeatmapControl.DataContext>
        <local:MatrixHeatmapViewModel/>
    </dxh:HeatmapControl.DataContext>
    <!--...-->
    <dxh:HeatmapControl.AxisX>
        <dxh:HeatmapAxis LabelVisibilityMode="AutoGeneratedAndCustom" 
                         CustomLabelItemsSource="{Binding CustomLabels}">
            <dxh:HeatmapAxis.CustomLabelItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <dxc:CustomAxisLabel Value="{Binding AxisValue}" 
                                         Content="{Binding Text}"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </dxh:HeatmapAxis.CustomLabelItemTemplate>
        </dxh:HeatmapAxis>
    </dxh:HeatmapControl.AxisX>
</dxh:HeatmapControl>
