Showing series name in the x axis items

[Petr]

Hey.
i have a bar chart which has several series. each series has several items.
i need the series name to be displayed in the x axis (instead of the step numbers).

whenever i add a a ChartAxisItem (see attached code), the display is massed up (massed up.png image vs' fine.png).

please provide help.

code:

HiveEventsChart.PlotArea.XAxis.RemoveAllItems();
foreach (var series in HiveEventsChart.Series)
{
	var axisItem = new ChartAxisItem();
	axisItem.TextBlock.Text = series.Name.ToShortString(2);
        axisItem.Appearance.RotationAngle = 30;
        HiveEventsChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddItem(axisItem);
}

thanks.

Hello Ofer,

You can find attached a sample report definition illustrating a Chart item with programmatically set X axis labels. For more details take a look at the How Do I add Axis Labels Programmatically? help article.

Notice the Chart item is now obsolete and it is highly recommended to switch to the new Graph item. The Graph item provides greater design-time support, unified approach for working with different chart types, options for styling, using expressions and adding interactivity.
