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.

• LabelArea

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:

• YPlotArea
• IndexAxis
• ValueAxis

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.

YPlotArea plotArea = new YPlotArea();
plotArea.Location = new PointF(0.2f, 0.2f);
plotArea.Size = new SizeF(0.6f, 0.6f);
plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Categories";
plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12);
plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFill = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Crimson);
plotArea.YAxes[0].Title = "Values";
plotArea.YAxes[0].TitleTextFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Comic Sans MS", 12);
plotArea.YAxes[0].TitleTextFill = new FarPoint.Win.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Chartreuse);

Dim plotArea As New FarPoint.Win.Chart.YPlotArea()
plotArea.Location = New PointF(0.2F, 0.2F)
plotArea.Size = New SizeF(0.6F, 0.6F)
plotArea.XAxis.Title = "Categories"
plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFont = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12)
plotArea.XAxis.TitleTextFill = New FarPoint.Win.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Crimson)
plotArea.YAxes(0).Title = "Values"
plotArea.YAxes(0).TitleTextFont = New System.Drawing.Font("Comic Sans MS", 12)
plotArea.YAxes(0).TitleTextFill = New FarPoint.Win.Chart.SolidFill(Drawing.Color.Chartreuse)

Using the Chart Designer

1. Select the PlotArea from the Format menu.
2. Select the XAxis and YAxis Collections.
