Rotate X - Axis Label

[Matt Tapia]

I have an bar chart with a series of bar columns and under each bar column on the x-axis is a label. The label text has been rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise (appears to be default). I want the label text to be rotated 45 degress clockwise, so it will read better. how can I do that?

Hello Matt Tapia,

You can achieve the desired appearance through the RadChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.LabelRotationAngle property.

Hope this helps.

I have a question connected to this. I have rotated the labels (using XCategories) 45 degrees but having pretty long names it is sometimes hard to see which one belong to what.

Can I somehow make the end of the word point to the area (align or justify)? Or do I have to rotate it full 90 degrees?

Attached an image to show my problem.

Hi Mattias,

Unfortunately the control does not support this functionality at the moment (setting custom align / justify options for the labels) and it will not be possible to achieve the desired effect.

Nevertheless, we will forward your feedback to our developers so they can consider it for one of the future versions of the control.


Kind regards,
