3D Chart Fonts

A chart can have more impact when customized fonts are used for different chart elements. The font size can be adjusted to make an element better fit the overall size of the chart. The chart uses two kinds of fonts sizing: non-scalable fonts and scalable fonts. Non-scalable fonts are always the same size. The scalable fonts is scaling when PlotCube size is changing.

The following table lists the type of font used by each chart element:

Chart Element Font Type
Axis Annotation Scalable
Axis Title Scalable
Footer Title Non-Scalable
Header Title Non-Scalable
Legend Non-Scalable

Use the standard .NET Font property editor to set the font, style, and size attributes. Font properties are located under the Stylenodes of the Visual Studio Properties window.

Note: For scalable fonts the Size property is measured in hundredths of the PlotCube length, for example, a value of 8 means the characters are 8% of the length of the PlotCube height.
