The labels contain the plot title and the axis labels. You can set the main title for the chart using the Text property in the LabelArea class.
You can set the text, alignment, and other formatting properties for the axis labels. You can use the IndexAxis.Title property in the plot area class to set the title for the x-axis. Whereas ValueAxis.Title property is used to set the title in the plot area for the y-axis. For more formatting, use TitleTextFill and TitleTextFont properties. You can also set the TitleOffset, if required. Here, the label text can also be bound to a datasource with the TitleDataSource and TitleDataField properties.
For more details, refer to the following classes:
The following examples show how to set axis labels in different ways.
Example 1: Set a title and formatting for the axis labels.
| C# |
Copy Code

|---|---|
// Create a plot area YPlotArea plotArea = new YPlotArea(); plotArea.Location = new PointF(0.2f, 0.2f); plotArea.Size = new SizeF(0.6f, 0.6f); // Set the title and formatting in the plot area for the x-axis plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Categories"; plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12); plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFill = new FarPoint.Web.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Crimson); plotArea.XAxis.TitleVisible = true; // Set the title and formatting in the plot area for the y-axis plotArea.YAxis[0].Title = "Values"; plotArea.YAxes[0].TitleTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Comic Sans MS", 12); plotArea.YAxes[0].TitleTextFill = new FarPoint.Web.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Chartreuse); |

' Create a plot area Dim plotArea As New FarPoint.Web.Chart.YPlotArea() plotArea.Location = New PointF(0.2F, 0.2F) plotArea.Size = New SizeF(0.6F, 0.6F) ' Set the title and formatting in the plot area for the x-axis plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Categories" plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFont = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12) plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFill = New FarPoint.Web.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Crimson) plotArea.XAxis.TitleVisible = True ' Set the title and formatting in the plot area for the y-axis plotArea.YAxis(0).Title = "Values" plotArea.YAxes(0).TitleTextFont = New System.Drawing.Font("Comic Sans MS", 12) plotArea.YAxes(0).TitleTextFill = New FarPoint.Web.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Chartreuse) |

Example 2: Set axis labels from the DataSource.
| C# |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
DataTable table = new DataTable(); DataRow dr = table.NewRow(); table.Columns.Add("Category"); dr[0] = "03:00-04:00"; table.Rows.Add(dr); dr = table.NewRow(); dr[0] = "04:00-05:00"; table.Rows.Add(dr); dr = table.NewRow(); dr[0] = "06:00-07:00"; table.Rows.Add(dr); dr = table.NewRow(); dr[0] = "07:00-08:00"; table.Rows.Add(dr); // Create a bar series BarSeries series = new BarSeries(); series.SeriesName = "Series 0"; series.Values.Add(2.0); series.Values.Add(4.0); series.Values.Add(3.0); series.Values.Add(5.0); // Show Axis Labels from the DataSource series.CategoryNames.DataField = "Category"; series.CategoryNames.DataSource = table; |

Dim table As DataTable = New DataTable() Dim dr As DataRow = table.NewRow() table.Columns.Add("Category") dr(0) = "03:00-04:00" table.Rows.Add(dr) dr = table.NewRow() dr(0) = "04:00-05:00" table.Rows.Add(dr) dr = table.NewRow() dr(0) = "06:00-07:00" table.Rows.Add(dr) dr = table.NewRow() dr(0) = "07:00-08:00" table.Rows.Add(dr) ' Create a bar series Dim series As BarSeries = New BarSeries() series.SeriesName = "Series 0" series.Values.Add(2.0) series.Values.Add(4.0) series.Values.Add(3.0) series.Values.Add(5.0) ' Show Axis Labels from the DataSource series.CategoryNames.DataField = "Category" series.CategoryNames.DataSource = table |
