Padding/Margin Along the X axis

[Mark Gregor]

Hi All,

I created a simple RadChart and have labeled the XAxis "Week-Ending Date" but the text of the label is sitting on the bottom border of the chart and doesn't look good.  I've attached a screenshot to show you.  I've tried adding padding and margin to the bottom of this but it seems to not do anything. 

Here is the code I am using for the XAxis:
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.TextBlock.Text = "Week-Ending Date";
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Position.AlignedPosition = AlignedPositions.Center;
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Dimensions.Paddings.Bottom.Type = Telerik.Charting.Styles.UnitType.Pixel;
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Dimensions.Paddings.Bottom.Value = 25;
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Bottom.Type = Telerik.Charting.Styles.UnitType.Pixel;
            RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Bottom.Value = 25;

Any idea's
I really appreciate the help!

Hi Mark,

The easiest way to solve such issues is to set the AutoLayout property of RadChart to true. Alternatively, you may adjust the plot area margins manually.

Thank you this resolved it, I also think it might have been caching some stuff as well.

Thanks again.
