RadChart ChartTitle set font size?

[Tim R]

Using version 2.0.2.0 of the Rad Ajax Chart. 
I cannot figure out how to change the font size for the title of a chart created via the API.
The title is being truncated (it looks like part of a left parenthesis followed by "Enrollmen" and then a few extra pixels of something).
AutoTextWrap is True. 

I'd expect to find the font-size property somewhere in the Appearance.TextProperties hierarchy, but don't see it.

 

 

Dim CTitle As New Telerik.Charting.ChartTitle

  

With CTitle.TextBlock

 

 

    .Text =

"Enrollment Blah Blah"

 

 

 

 

   .Appearance.AutoTextWrap = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AutoTextWrap.True

 

 

    .Appearance.TextProperties.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Maroon

 

End With

 

 

 

 

RadChart1.ChartTitle.Add(CTitle)

Hi Tim Romano,

In order to change the font-size of the Chart Title you can use CharTitle element
(Text Block->Appearance->TextProperties->Font) from the property grid.
Here is an example:

<ChartTitle>

   <TextBlock Text=" Chart">

            <Appearance TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 10pt">

            </Appearance>

   </TextBlock>

</ChartTitle>

I hope this information helps. I will be glad to assist you further

Does the API support the following approaches? (I'm not on-site to test it).  Or must the font-name be specified (i.e. not font-family and not the CSS "inherit" directive) and does the size have to be specified in pt units?

ChartTitle.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = "medium"

ChartTitle.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = "sans-serif, small"

ChartTitle.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = "inherit, small"

Thanks

Hello Tim Romano,

RadChart is just an image, rendered on the server, so CSS-like approach will not be applicable as there is no actual text in the browser. You will need to supply the desired font using a System.Drawing.Font object. Here is an example:
 

        RadChart1.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = New System.Drawing.Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 26)

Hi Mohammed,

To be able to change the Font Style and Size of the RadChart's Title you can set it by using the Properties window of the Visual Studio or manually in the markup:

<ChartTitle>
            <TextBlock>
                <Appearance TextProperties-Font="Monotype Corsiva, 18pt, style=Italic">
                </Appearance>
            </TextBlock>
        </ChartTitle>

Hi,
Can you please provide a tested sample of code to change the Font size of the chart title from code behind.
 I have tested all the solutions provided above but nothing is working.


Thanks in advance

Hello Abhishek,

Just add these code lines in your Page_Load body:

MilestoneChart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Text = "My Chart Title";
MilestoneChart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Appearance.TextProperties.Font = new Font(new FontFamily("Monotype Corsiva"),18f, FontStyle.Italic);

Kind regards,
