Orientation Angle for Custom Labels
posted

Morning,

 I am using a BarChart and everything is just about right except for the X Axis label orientation. I am using a custom array that I pass in at run time via:

_ultraChart.Data.SetRowLabels(this.GetColumnLabels(_data));

GetColumnLabels loops through a generic collection to generate a string array.

This is all working well and good but when I attempt to set the orientation angle, the labels remain horizontal. I am trying to have them at a 45 deg angle:

_ultraChart.Axis.X.Labels.Orientation = TextOrientation.Custom;
_ultraChart.Axis.X.Labels.OrientationAngle = 45;

This is obviously only being applied to the default values that are being assigned to the X Axis because when I toggle the X axis on and off, those values are shown at the proper angle.

 My question is .... Is there a OrientationAngle property that I can set somewhere that will apply to the labels that are shown using the SetLabels method? Do I need to apply something in a rendering event somewhere?

    If you're using a BarChart, your row and column labels are displayed on the Y axis and data values are displayed on the X axis. Setting row labels also means that you're setting 'series labels' (column labels are item labels, row labels are series labels).

    So, if you are using a BarChart, set ultrachart.Axis.Y.Labels.SeriesLabels.Orientation and OrientationAngle.
    If you're using a ColumnChart, use ultrachart.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Orientation and OrientationAngle.
