Thought this might be of help to those of you who are want to customize your Y-Axis labeling on your charts. (note: this solution is based off of the article knowledgebase regarding customize labeling that Infragistics has on their site--gotta give credit where credit is due--I just expanded and tailored it my needs) Just to illustrate:

Y-Axis DATA VALUES Label Before:
$1,000,000
$100,000
$10,000
$1,000

Y-Axis DATA VALUES Label After:
$1M
$100K
$10K
$1K

Now that takes up less space and is much more readable. Now--onto the code!

Public Class MyLabelRenderer

Public Overloads Function ToString(ByVal context As Hashtable) _

Case Is < -999

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 4) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 3) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 2) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 1) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE"))

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 1) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 2) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 3) & "K"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 1) & "M"

Return CStr(context("DATA_VALUE")).Substring(0, 2) & "M"

End Function

End Class

Private Sub Customize_Labels_Using_the_IRenderLabel_Interface_Load( _

ByVal sender As System.Object, _

Me.YourChartNameHere.Axis.Y.Labels.ItemFormatString = "<MY_VALUE>"

End Sub

Now, I only chose to customize the Y axis because that usually contains the data values (which is what I'm interested in). You easily modify the code above to include changes in the X axis as well.

 Happy coding!
