Hi Paul,

In order to make the series item labels display vertically you should use code like the one below on a per series basis:

series.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle = 90;

Also, in this case, please make sure you have turned off the intelligent labels.

Best wishes,

Thanks that worked great, however because of the skin I have choosen, the text is not readable good at the moment. Is is possible to give the text another color?, or is there a way to make the chart higher, so the text can be in the black part?

Hi Paul,

You can set a custom color to the labels of your series using code like the following:

series.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Color = Color.Black;

You could also make RadChart to render extra space above the series item by setting the AutoScale property of the YAxis to false. In this case you should manually provide values for the MinValue, MaxValue and Step properties of the axis and also make sure that all of your data falls within this predefined range. Here is a sample code demonstrating this scenario:

 

           chart.PlotArea.YAxis.AutoScale = false;
            chart.PlotArea.YAxis.MinValue = 100000;
            chart.PlotArea.YAxis.MaxValue = 1500000;
            chart.PlotArea.YAxis.Step = 100000;

Hope this will help.

All the best,
