Labels

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. The label text can be bound to a datasource with the TitleDataSource and TitleDataField properties. See the following for more information:

Using Code

  1. Create a plot area.
  2. To set the title in the plot area class for the x-axis, set the IndexAxis.Title property.
  3. Set TitleTextFill and TitleTextFont for additional formatting. You can also set the TitleOffset.
  4. To set the title in the plot area for the y-axis, set the ValueAxis.Title property.
  5. Set TitleTextFill and TitleTextFont for additional formatting. You can also set the TitleOffset.

Example

The following example sets a title for the axis.

C#

YPlotArea plotArea = new YPlotArea();
plotArea.Location = new PointF(0.2f, 0.2f);

plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Categories";
plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12);
plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFill = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Crimson);
