    I am using a bar chart with 3 stacked bars and a line, so 4 series total.   The xAxis label is going right through the xAxis, i really need to move the xAxis label down about 50px so it sets below the xAxis.


    sample if ______________________ is the xAxis and 12345 is the label.


    1 
      2
    __3_____________________________________
         4
           5

    I am setting the following values.

                radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle = 45; 
                radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Black; 
                radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Bottom; 
                radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Position.Auto = false; 
                radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Position.X = 200; 
                radChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.Appearance.Position.Y = 125; 

    Ideas?

    Hi Eric,

    You can take advantage of RadChart's automatic layout calculation -- just set RadChart.AutoLayout=true and RadChart will arrange the items for you. You can find more details here:

    The auto does not work.  When i set to auto all of the labels for the xAxis are all right on top of each other.  Is there no way to move the xAxis labels down in respect to the xAxis.

    Hello Eric,

    I am not sure about your specific scenario and why the labels would be placed on top of each other. You can use this line to set the labels alignment:

    RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Top;

    In this case you will probably need to adjust the PlotArea Margins.
