PlotAreaAxisYStyle example

[rachel]

Hi, I have a Silverlight RadChart displaying multiple horizontal stacked series.  The labels on the y axis are centred and I need them to be right-aligned.  I believe I need to set the DefaultView.ChartArea.PlotAreaAxisYStyle style, but I can't get this to work either in code or XAML.

There seem to be no examples available anywhere that demonstrate the use of this style - could someone possibly supply one?

Thanks,

Hello Ben,

You can use the exposed ItemLabelStyle property as shown below:

<telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
    <telerik:ChartDefaultView>
        <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
            <telerik:ChartArea LegendName="Legend1">
                <telerik:ChartArea.AxisX>
                    <telerik:AxisX Title="Axis title">
                        <telerik:AxisX.AxisStyles>
                            <telerik:AxisStyles ItemLabelStyle="{StaticResource CustomLabelStyle}" />
                        </telerik:AxisX.AxisStyles>
                    </telerik:AxisX>
                </telerik:ChartArea.AxisX>
                <telerik:ChartArea.AxisY>
                    <telerik:AxisY Title="Axis title"/>
                </telerik:ChartArea.AxisY>
            </telerik:ChartArea>
        </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
        <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
            <telerik:ChartLegend x:Name="Legend1" />
        </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
        <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
            <telerik:ChartTitle Content="RadChart" />
        </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
    </telerik:ChartDefaultView>
</telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>

where the style should have TextBlock as target type:

<Style x:Key="CustomLabelStyle" TargetType="TextBlock">
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Orange" />
    <Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Right" />
</Style>

More information can be found in our help topic describing how to style the axis item label.
