### To Add an Axis Title:

Use the axis [Title](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.Chart3DAxis.Title.html) property to add a title to an axis. To remove the title, delete the text.

Adding a title to an axis clarifies what is charted along that axis. Axis titles can be added to **Area**, **XY-Plot**, **Bar**, **HiLo**, **HiLoOpenClose** or **Candle** charts. The title or the annotation along the axis can also be rotated.

### To Rotate an Axis Title:

Use the axis **Rotation** property to rotate the axis title to 90, 180, or 270 degrees. The 90 and 270-degree rotations are most efficient for vertical axes.

### To Rotate the X-Axis:

Use the [RotationX](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.Chart3DView.RotationX.html) property to specify the number of degrees of rotation of the plot cube about the X-axis.

### To Rotate the Y-Axis:

Use the [RotationY](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.Chart3DView.RotationY.html) property to specify the number of degrees of rotation of the plot cube about the Y-axis.
