mChart.AxisX.TitleStyle.FontSize = 15;
mChart.AxisX.TitleStyle.Fill = Color.White;

mChart.AxisY.TitleStyle.FontSize = 15;
mChart.AxisY.TitleStyle.Fill = Color.White;

Users can customize the origin to plot the data points in two quadrants. You can use Origin method to set the origin for both the axes at a particular point. The image given below shows the origin of X axis set to 10,000.
In Code
The following code example illustrates how to customize the X-axis origin in C#. This example uses the sample created in Customize Appearance section. You can also set Y-axis origin in code behind in a way similar to that given in code below.
