# Annotation Tab ## Content The **Annotation** tab allows you to specify whether you would like the AxisX, AxisY, or AxisY2 to be labeled as Values or ValueLabels. If you select Values from the **Method** drop-down box a **Format** drop-down box will appear. Here you can select from various types of formats. Also, you can specify the format string in the **Format string** textbox. For more information see the [Values Annotation](/componentone/docs/win/online-chart2d/chartareaandplotarea/axesannotation/valuesannotation). For more information about the Format types, see FormatEnum Enumeration.
