Axis labels not readable

[Jaakko Hänninen]

I have a problem that after run time modification labels at YAxis are not readable. I`m trying to convert time format from minutes to hour:minutes format at run time. It seems that these new labels doen`s fit to the area and result is mess. Timeformat is changed at PrePaint event handler. Control doesn`t update it`s measures after that.

protected void MyChart_PrePaint(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
            RadChart are = (RadChart)sender;
            ChartYAxis yAxis = are.PlotArea.YAxis;

            are.Series[0].Appearance.LabelAppearance.Dimensions.AutoSize = false;
            are.Series[0].Appearance.LabelAppearance.Dimensions.Width = 500;          

            yAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.AutoTextWrap = AutoTextWrap.False;
            yAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.Dimensions.Width = 500;
            yAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.Dimensions.AutoSize = false;



            foreach (ChartAxisItem axisItem in yAxis.Items)
            {
                axisItem.TextBlock.Text = "some text here";
            }
}

If they do not fit have you tried to either change the angle of the labels, or the margins of the chart image? This could provide you with some more space for the labels.

Angle:

RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle = -90;

Margins:

RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Right = 50;
RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Left = 50;

Hi guys,

I would suggest checking the Auto Layout feature. All you need is one property - RadChart.AutoLayout = true.
