Issue with custom XAxis labels

[Richard Slade]

Hi,

I've got a RadChart that I'm building on the fly from a filtered binding source. It shows some values on the Y Axis and along the X Axis it shows the month number that the data corresponds to:

For example
20
15
10
5
     1     2    3    4    5   6  7   8  9   10   11   12

Where 1 = january and so on.

Because I am not binding this to a datasource, but I am building the series and data on the fly, I cannot use the

Me

 

.RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.DataLabelsColumn as far as I know.

However, I want to replace the X Axis labels with meaningful names I.e Jan Feb Mar etc...

I have tried adding this in during the loop and the labels show, but once the labels show, the data doesn't.

Please can you advise an easy way to get the X Axis labels to be set to a custom value

Thanks

Richard

Ok, got it. Realised I needed to not only give the label text, but a value which is the same as the month I am trying to plot.

            'X Axis Custom Labels. Add in Jan - Dec
            For i As Integer = 1 To 12
                Dim item As New ChartAxisItem(GetMonthName(i))
                item.Value = i
                Me.RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Items.Add(item)
            Next

Hi All,
I am facing same problem for custom label (axis label)

I set (x,y) values for series as below
Code is in C#

ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries();
series.Type = ChartSeriesType.Line;

 for (int iCnt = 0; iCnt < 6; iCnt++)
       {
                    series.Items.Add(new ChartSeriesItem(arrdXData[iCnt], arrdYData[iCnt]));
                    // Here some code which set custom label for x-axis instead of 1,2,3...
        }
                    

The below solution not work for me.

For i As Integer = 1 To 12

Dim item As New ChartAxisItem(GetMonthName(i))

item.Value = i

Me.RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Items.Add(item)

Next

.

Thanks & Regards
Rohit.

Hello Rohit,

To be able to set custom Axis Labels follow this help article -http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/howtoaddxlabels.html.
Note that you should turn off AutoScale property to be able to populate RadChart Axis Items Labels manually.
