Automatic Rotation of X-Axis Labels

[safeer]

Hi,
I'm trying to achieve what's already provided in Microsoft Charting control, if the label text is large then it will automatically rotate it. How can I achieve it in Telerik?

I know we can set Rotation Angle of labels but chart shows different labels based on user selection, I don't want to always rotate them. As I don't know which user selection will cause large labels so I can't manually set the rotation angles.

Please see attached images ...if I browse chart on weeks, the labels are automatically rotated 

Thanks,
Safeer

Hi Safeer,

RadChart does not support such feature. Sorry for the caused inconvenience.

Nevertheless, I can offer you the following options as a workaround to improve the situation.

The first one is to set the LabelStep property. This way you will have less labels on the axis and they will not overlap.

radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.LabelStep = 2;

The other one is to have the label on more than one line. This is achieved by setting the CustomFormat property.

radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "HH:mm:ss\ndd-MMM\nyyyy";
