Dynamic Multiline Axis Labels

[Rob]

Hi all, 

can someone please assist, or direct me to a working example 

I am using RADChart in an ASP.NET page, as a horizontal Gannt chart
along the bottom axis i would like lables that appear as follows
APR        MAY
09            09

Telerik.Charting.ChartAxisItem cai = new Telerik.Charting.ChartAxisItem();
// add 15 days so that label appears in middle of month
cai.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(thisDate.AddDays(15).ToOADate());
// create text for label
cai.TextBlock.Text = thisDate.ToString("MMM yy");
// attempt to force linefeed in label - also tried char(10)
cai.TextBlock.Text = cai.TextBlock.Text.Replace(' ', Convert.ToChar(13));
// set autowrap on - in desperation !!
cai.TextBlock.Appearance.AutoTextWrap = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AutoTextWrap.True;
// set label alignment to center
cai.TextBlock.Appearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Center;
// add label to Axis objects
radChart.PlotArea.YAxis.Items.Add(cai);

unfortunately - Labels Still appear as APR 09      May 09     .....
Any ideas - suggestions gratefully accepted

Hi Rob,

You can achieve the desired functionality like this:

cai.TextBlock.Text = thisDate.ToString("MMM\nyy");

Hope this helps.

Hello Rob,

We assume you have pasted direct link to the chart image, however the cache expires after a certain period of time and the image url is no longer valid and cannot be opened -- we would suggest you to either send us a runnable sample application or modify our sample application (attached to this thread) so we can reproduce the problem locally and advise you how to proceed.

Looking forward to your reply.
