How to: Display Axis Labels Between Tickmarks

• Nov 13, 2018

To display labels between tickmarks, do the following.

• Set the minor tickmark number to 1 using the axis’ AxisBase.MinorCount property.
• Set the TickmarksBase.MinorLength property of Axis2D.Tickmarks to 5 - this is default length of major tickmarks.
• Hide major tickmarks using the TickmarksBase.Visible property of Axis2D.Tickmarks.

Form1.cs

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    XYDiagram diagram = chartControl1.Diagram as XYDiagram;
    if (diagram == null) return;
    diagram.AxisX.MinorCount = 1;
    diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.MinorLength = 5;
    diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Visible = false;
}

Form1.vb

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim diagram As XYDiagram = TryCast(chartControl1.Diagram, XYDiagram)
    If diagram Is Nothing Then
        Return
    End If
    diagram.AxisX.MinorCount = 1
    diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.MinorLength = 5
    diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Visible = False
End Sub
