Hello,
Im creating reports using charts and ive several questions. First of all im using a bar chart. The data im using creates lots series. For each item on the x axis, there is one or more bars. So for example, 6 items on the x axis with 3 bars each.
One of the problems i encounter is that the labels for the x axis overlap each other and they become unreadable. Ive noticed that the chart is rendered quite small for all the data i need to display. I was looking for a solution and i thought maybe a good idea, at least for printing purposes, is that the chart could be rendered vertically. That way no matter how huge it is it will display all the series in a more viewable manner. Or maybe there is a better aproach for this problem.
So,
-How do i prevent labels from overlaping each other?
-How can i make the chart biger so the series are more viable?
Thanks in advanced,
Dan A. Rodriguez

Hi drodriguez,
Up to your questions:
1. To avoid the label overlapping you can use the LabelAppearance.RotationAngle property of the Series to rotate the labels to a more convenient position.
2. To rotate the chart horizontally you can use the SeriesOrientation property of the chart.
You can also change the size of the chart if there are too many items but this should be done programmatically before the actual processing of the report.
