Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

VB.NET

Public Property Label As SeriesLabel

Property Value

Type	Description
SeriesLabel	A SeriesLabel object which provides the series label settings.

Remarks

The Label property provides access to the settings that specify the appearance, contents, position and visibility of series labels.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to change the appearance of series labels.

To accomplish this, it is necessary to create a DataTemplate that specifies the appearance of series labels, and add it to a window’s resource. Then, this template can be applied to a series label via its ChartTextElement.ElementTemplate property.

Note

The chart control displays a crosshair cursor instead of series labels in the diagram by default. To provide series labels customization, enable series labels (set the Series.LabelsVisibility property to true) and disable the crosshair cursor (set the ChartControlBase.CrosshairEnabled property to false).
