[Solved] barchart label doesn't show entirely

[Yiqing]

Hi ,

I've used RadCatesianChart to dynamicly display some data, but the problem is that the label is not shown entirely sometimes. I attached the picture so you can refer to it. My XAML code is as below, I don't know where should I modify to make it work.

<Chart:RadCartesianChart x:Name="mybarchart" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                                Height="420" Margin="140,55,20,20" Grid.Row="1"
                                VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="670"
                                PaletteName="DefaultDark"
                                Foreground="Black" FontWeight="ExtraBold" FontSize="25">

           <Chart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis >
               <Chart:LinearAxis>
                   <Chart:LinearAxis.LineStyle>
                       <Style TargetType="Line">
                           <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Black"/>
                           <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="2"/>
                       </Style>
                   </Chart:LinearAxis.LineStyle>
                   <Chart:LinearAxis.LabelStyle>
                       <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                           <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="20"/>
                           <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
                           <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
                           <Setter Property="Margin" Value="20"/>
                       </Style>
                   </Chart:LinearAxis.LabelStyle>
               </Chart:LinearAxis>
           </Chart:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

           <Chart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
               <Chart:CategoricalAxis>
                   <Chart:CategoricalAxis.LineStyle>
                       <Style TargetType="Line">
                           <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Black"/>
                           <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="2"/>
                       </Style>
                   </Chart:CategoricalAxis.LineStyle>
                   <Chart:CategoricalAxis.LabelStyle>
                       <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                           <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="20"/>
                           <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
                           <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
                       </Style>
                   </Chart:CategoricalAxis.LabelStyle>
               </Chart:CategoricalAxis>

           </Chart:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
           <Chart:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>
               <Chart:ChartSelectionBehavior SelectionChanged="ChartSelectionBehavior_SelectionChanged_1"/>
           </Chart:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>

           <Chart:BarSeries ItemsSource="{Binding barchart}" ShowLabels="True">
               <Chart:BarSeries.ValueBinding>
                   <Chart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="count"/>
               </Chart:BarSeries.ValueBinding>
               <Chart:BarSeries.CategoryBinding>
                   <Chart:PropertyNameDataPointBinding PropertyName="ProcessName"/>
               </Chart:BarSeries.CategoryBinding>
           </Chart:BarSeries>
       </Chart:RadCartesianChart>

Thanks,

Hello Yiqing,

From the given picture, I can see that the labels of the Horizontal axis do not fit in the bounds of the chart. To avoid this, you can either set RadCartesianChart.ClipToBounds to false(thus the labels will be visible when they are out of the chart's bounds), or modify the CategoricalAxis.LabelStyle.
Also, I can see that the labels of the BarSeries do not fit in the PlotArea, so you can either set BarSeries.ClipToPlotArea to false(thus the labels will be visible although they are out of the PlotArea's bounds), or use the BarSeries.LabelDefinitions property and create a ChartSeriesLabelDefinition to change the appearance of the labels. More information about LabelDefinitions can be found in our online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-8-xaml/radchart-labels-chartserieslabeldefinition.html.

I hope this helps. Let me know should you have any other questions.
