# Inverted and Reversed Chart Axes

## Content



When a data set contains X or Y values which span a large range, sometimes the normal chart setup does not display the information most effectively. Formatting a chart with a vertical Y-axis and axis annotation that begins at the minimum value can sometimes be more visually appealing if the chart could be inverted or the axes reversed. Therefore, [C1Chart](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.C1Chart.html) provides the Inverted property and the [Reversed](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.Axis.Reversed.html) property of the axis.

Setting the [Reversed](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.Axis.Reversed.html) property of the [ChartView](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart.ChartView.html) to **True** will reverse the axes. This means that the **Max** side of the axis will take the place of the **Min** side of the axis, and the **Min** side of the axis will take the place of the **Max** side of the axis. Initially, the chart displays the Minimum value on the left side of the X-axis, and on the bottom side of the Y-axis. Setting the **Reversed** property of the **Axis,** however will juxtapose these Maximum and Minimum values.
