How to increase distance between values in x axis

[FMorales]

Hi, 

I have created a simple bar chart but I would like to increase the distance between the values on x-axis and get the bars a little bit more longer.

There is a simple ways to do it?

here I attach my simple chart.

Thanks a lot

Hi again, 

simply I would like to add more space between labels.

Could I make bigger the space between labels??

Thanks

Hello Farncisco,

Thank you for writing.

You can control at what distance the labels will be rendered on the LinearAxis, by setting the MajorStep property:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    BarSeries barSeries = new BarSeries("Performance", "RepresentativeName");
    barSeries.Name = "Q1";
    barSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(177, "Harley"));
    barSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(128, "White"));
    barSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(143, "Smith"));
    barSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(111, "Jones"));
    barSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(118, "Marshall"));
    this.radChartView1.Series.Add(barSeries);

    BarSeries barSeries2 = new BarSeries("Performance", "RepresentativeName");
    barSeries2.Name = "Q2";
    barSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(153, "Harley"));
    barSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(141, "White"));
    barSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(130, "Smith"));
    barSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(88, "Jones"));
    barSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(109, "Marshall"));
    this.radChartView1.Series.Add(barSeries2);

    CartesianGrid grid = this.radChartView1.GetArea<CartesianArea>().GetGrid<CartesianGrid>();
    this.radChartView1.GetArea<CartesianArea>().Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;
    grid.DrawVerticalStripes = true;
    grid.DrawHorizontalStripes = false;

    LinearAxis verticalAxis = barSeries.HorizontalAxis as LinearAxis;
    if (verticalAxis != null)
    {
        verticalAxis.MajorStep = 10;
        verticalAxis.LabelFitMode = AxisLabelFitMode.Rotate;
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
