How to make Y-axis begin at top?

[Kayode Leonard]

I have a bar chart that I want the Y axis 0 to start from the top and the numbers to increase as you go to the bottom, so it's basically a regular chart but upside down.  How do I do that?
Thanks

Hi Kayode,

Please, find attached a small example. These are the key points:

• Populate the chart with negative values or wire the ItemDataBound event and update the e.DataPoint.YValue property
• Populate the AxisY.DefaultLabelFormat property with a two-sections format string, so that the negative values are formatted as positive ones -- "#;#"
• Do the same for the SeriesDefinition.ItemLabelFormat -- "#Y{#;#}"

Hope this helps.

I would also like to know how to get the axis on top, like in the pictures Yao posted.

Hello Bradley,

Let me start with a small clarification here -- RadChart now supports inverse Y axis, all you need to do is set IsInverse property to true. You can find an example here. Unfortunately, placing AxisX on the top is not supported.
