I really like the "Luminol" theme, but when I use it, the theme overrides my Y axis formatting. I was originally setting the formatting in code using this:
Axis yAxis = new Axis();
yAxis.AxisType = AxisType.PrimaryY;
yAxis.Label.Format = "{0:n0}";
DataChart.Axes.Add(yAxis);
When I try using the "Luminol" theme, I lose the formatting on the Y axis and my numbers appear with no comma separators.
I've also tried setting the format in the XAML like this:
<igCA:XamChart x:Name="DataChart" Theme="Luminol">
<igCA:XamChart.Axes>
<igCA:Axis AxisType="PrimaryY">
<igCA:Axis.Label>
<igCA:Label Angle="-45" Format="{}{0:n0}" />
</igCA:Axis.Label>
</igCA:Axis>
</igCA:XamChart.Axes>
</igCA:XamChart>
By setting the format in the XAML, the numbers on my Y axis appear with the proper formatting, but I lose the color from the "Luminol" theme. In other words, the Y axis labels are black rather than the color set by "Luminol".
Is there a way to get both the formatting right and the theme color right?
Thanks, Steve
You can keep the color with:
<igChart:Label Angle="-45" Format="{}{0:n0}" Foreground="{StaticResource LabelYBrush}" />
When I first paste that into the xaml, the label in the designer does change to the proper color. However, as soon as I try to build the project, the designer unloads with an error. The exact error in the IDE is "StaticResource reference 'LabelYBrush' was not found".
That worked, thanks.
Hello, i am experiencing the same problem.
I have a xamChart with the theme RedPlanet but i want to change the appearance of the x-axe labels, such as color and size.
But when i follow the steps stated in this post, the color of the x-axe remains the color of the theme.
Can you help me?
Thank you
Uhm, would appreciate if someone replied.
Hi,
I’m trying this code and the x-labels are red:
<igCA:XamChart x:Name="xamChart" Theme="Aquarius" >
<igCA:Axis AxisType="PrimaryX">
<igCA:Label Foreground="Red" />
Can you try applying the latest service release?
I dont know what it was, but did that many times and now it works. btw have the latest release.
Thank for the help though and sorry for being impatience:).
