Rotate series item label?

[Enill]

Hi,
is there a way to rotate the item label text of a point in a line in code behind? (using a style or api?)

Currently it look like this "i t e m   l a b e l".

I would like to have it look like this for exemple:
"
l
e
b
a
l

m
e
t
i
"

Thanks in advance!

Hi Enill,

You can re-style the SeriesItemLabel control as shown in this example. Moreover, you can wrap the border element around a  LayoutTransformControl. Attached is a working example.

Hope this will help.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the reply.

One thing thought, i can't use XAML in the code im working on so how do you translate the code below in C#? :

   <ControlTemplate TargetType="chart:SeriesItemLabel">
                            <Canvas>
                                <controls:LayoutTransformControl>
                                    <controls:LayoutTransformControl.Content>
                                        <Border x:Name="PART_TextContainer"
                                    Canvas.Left="{TemplateBinding TextContainerCanvasLeft}"
                                    Canvas.Top="{TemplateBinding TextContainerCanvasTop}"
                                    Style="{TemplateBinding LabelStyle}"
                                    BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Stroke}"
                                    Background="Transparent">
                                            <TextBlock TextAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
                                           Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
                                           Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" />
                                        </Border>
                                    </controls:LayoutTransformControl.Content>
                                    <controls:LayoutTransformControl.LayoutTransform>
                                        <RotateTransform Angle="-90" />
                                    </controls:LayoutTransformControl.LayoutTransform>
                                </controls:LayoutTransformControl>
                            </Canvas>
                        </ControlTemplate>
