[Solved] Show Gridlines from code and change title size

[Rami Laiho]

I have programically created chart. Chart works fine, but I'm not able to show gridlines or change axis title font size.

Here's my code:

RadCartesianChart chart = new RadCartesianChart();

CartesianChartGrid grid = new CartesianChartGrid();
grid.MajorLinesVisibility = GridLineVisibility.XY;
chart.Grid = grid;

var barSeries = new BarSeries() {ItemsSource = dataItems};
barSeries.CategoryBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding("Category");
barSeries.ValueBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding("Value");
LinearAxis VeAx = new LinearAxis();
VeAx.HorizontalLocation = AxisHorizontalLocation.Left;
VeAx.Title = "Axis title";
barSeries.VerticalAxis = VeAx;
chart.Series.Add(barSeries);

MyStackPanel.Children.Add(chart);
MyStackPanel.UpdateLayout();

Hi Rami,

Thank you for using RadControls for Windows 8!.

The grid lines are drawn according to the chart axes, therefore you have to set the VerticalAxis and HorizontalAxis properties of the RadCartesianChart instance.

You can change the style of the title via the TitleTemplate property of the axis. I have attached a sample project that demonstrates how you can achieve this.

I hope this was useful and feel free to contact us if you need further assistance.
