# Rotating and Elevating a Chart

## Content



It's easy to rotate a chart using the [Azimuth](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.Azimuth.html) property. The default angle for [C1Chart3D](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.html) is 30 degrees.

The following XAML sets the **Azimuth** property to 120 degrees.

```xml
<c1chart3d:C1Chart3D Height="150" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="96,51,0,0" Name="c1Chart3D1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" Azimuth="120">
```

Each chart has an elevation angle, or an incline above the X-axis. When you first add a chart to the window, the elevation angle is 150 degrees, by default.

To change the incline angle, use the [Elevation](/componentone/api/wpf/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.4.6.2/C1.WPF.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.Elevation.html) property. The following XAML sets the **Elevation** property to 120.

```xml
<c1chart3d:C1Chart3D Height="150" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="96,51,0,0" Name="c1Chart3D1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" Azimuth="30" Elevation="120">
```

You can also create a two-dimensional chart using the **Elevation** property. See [Creating a Two-Dimensional Chart](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-chart3d/overview/using-chart3d-for-wpf-and-silverlight/Creating) for more information.
