Adding a Transparent Label to Adjust the Gap Between the Values and the X-Axis

This code adds a transparent ValueLabel with the appearance of an arrow to the chart; since it is transparent, it is not visible to the end-user. By changing the ValueLabel.MarkerSize property, you can adjust the gap between the vlues and the x-axis.

• Visual Basic

c1Chart1.ChartArea.AxisX.AnnoMethod = C1.Win.C1Chart.AnnotationMethodEnum.Mixed

Dim vl As ValueLabel = c1Chart1.ChartArea.AxisX.ValueLabels.AddNewLabel()

vl.Appearance = ValueLabelAppearanceEnum.TriangleMarker

vl.MarkerSize = 50

vl.Color = Color.Transparent

vl.NumericValue = 2

• C#

c1Chart1.ChartArea.AxisX.AnnoMethod = C1.Win.C1Chart.AnnotationMethodEnum.Mixed;

                ValueLabel vl = c1Chart1.ChartArea.AxisX.ValueLabels.AddNewLabel();

vl.Appearance = ValueLabelAppearanceEnum.TriangleMarker;

                vl.MarkerSize = 50;

                vl.Color = Color.Transparent;

                vl.NumericValue = 2;
