Great! that worked! thanks!

Make sure chart.Axis.Y.Labels.HorizontalAlign is set to Far

Great! Thanks that worked. The chart comes up beautifully now except for the Y Axis... the data points still seem to be merged with the X Axis itself... is there a way to move the data points a little to the left so that they dont intersect with the axis?

I think you're seeing the extra axis labels and the extra axes, because you have made them visible either somewhere else in code, or in the designer. I suggest resetting axis properties, or setting Y2 and X2 axes to not visible.

Here's a simple code example that generates a stacked column chart with a legend:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Value1", typeof(int));
dt.Columns.Add("Value2", typeof(int));
dt.Columns.Add("Value3", typeof(int));
dt.Columns.Add("Label", typeof(string));

dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, 1, 1, "Jan" });
dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 2, 1, 2, "Feb" });
dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 4, 4, 2, "Mar" });
dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, 3, 1, "Apr" });

ultraChart1.ChartType = ChartType.StackColumnChart;
ultraChart1.ColumnChart.ColumnSpacing = 1;

ultraChart1.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Orientation = TextOrientation.VerticalLeftFacing;
ultraChart1.Axis.Y.Labels.ItemFormatString = "<DATA_VALUE:0>";

ultraChart1.Legend.Visible = true;

ultraChart1.Data.DataSource = dt;
ultraChart1.Data.DataBind();

Hi Max,

Please check out the attached chart. Currently the Y Axis shows decimal places which I need to remove and comes on both sides of the graph whereas I want it only on the left.

Also there seems to be several words that are coming on top of the graph by default (right above the 698). I am unsure as to why this is happening.

And I am not able to see the default legend in my chart too. I have attached the code I am using in my previous post.

Please advise. Thanks again!
