Hello Jacky,

Thank you for writing.

It is not possible to specify the position of the labels for negative values in order to display them at the bottom. However, you can use the LabelFormatting event and manipulate the BarLabelElement.PositionOffset on a way to display the text below the element or just format them in different color.

When you have a lot of labels on the X-axis, they can overlap each other. You can modify the CategoricalAxis.LabelFitMode property and set it to MultiLine or Rotate. Thus, the label overlapping should be avoided.

As to the last question, related to tooltips for X-axis labels, currently the RadChartView provides a tooltip interactivity with the ChartTooltipController class and can be used to visualize arbitrary information related to a data point only.

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

How do I make a bar chart like the one in Jacky's original attachment? When one of my values is negative my bar chart doesn't do that. See example on my attachment. The data for category 9-20 is negative. I want the pivot point to be zero along the x axis. I guess I am missing a setting on my axis object?

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

Thanks Dess, I shouldn't have posted this here. I created a thread for this topic. I posted my code that reproduces my problem.
