[Solved] Position X-Axis on the top of chart

[Matt]

Hello,

I have a requirement in my project to position the X-Axis on the top of the plot area.  All other elements remain the same (e.g. the chart still goes from 0 to 5 on the Y-Axis with 0 in the bottom left corner and 5 in the top left corner.

I tried setting the x-axis label x-position to 200 hoping it would position the labels above the chart, but that didn't work.

Is this at all possible with the Telerik chart?

Thanks,
Matt Dixon

I do not think it's possible with RadChart since the only property I'm aware of switches the position of the x and y axis, but not the placement of a single axis.

Hi,

Actually, it is possible to move the X axis labels above the chart, using Matt's approach. Still, the axis line will remain at its original position. Here is the axis configuration:

<XAxis>
        <Appearance>
            <LabelAppearance Position-Auto="False" Position-X="0" Position-Y="-234">
            </LabelAppearance>
        </Appearance>
    </XAxis>

Note, that you need to set Position.Auto to false and Position.Y  with a negative value to move the labels upwards. You may also need to adjust the plot area margins or move / remove the chart title, so that it does not overlap with the X axis labels.
