# Axis Annotation Rotation

## Content



Use the axis [AnnotationRotation](/componentone/api/win/online-chart2d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart.Axis.AnnotationRotation.html) property to rotate the axis annotation counterclockwise the specified number of degrees. This property is especially useful if the X-axis is crowded with annotation. Rotating the annotations +/- 30 – 60 degrees allows a much larger number of annotations in a confined space on horizontal axes. By utilizing the [AnnotationRotation](/componentone/api/win/online-chart2d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart.Axis.AnnotationRotation.html) property, the X-axis annotation does not overlap, as shown below:
