Wrap axis title

[Roman]

Hello,

We have limited height for ChartView and quite a long text as Y-axis title. Is there a way to make the axis title wrap its text?

Hello Roman, 

Thank you for writing.  

The axis in RadChartView offers the LabelFitMode property which determines how the axis labels will be laid. They can't be wrapped but I can suggest you set the LabelFitMode property to Rotate and specify the LabelRotationAngle. Thus, you can gain some of the width that the labels occupy by default. 

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Hello Dess,

I was asking about axis title, but not axis labels.

Just in case someone will need a workaround for this issue, Telerik Support suggested to use chart's title instead of axis title. Chart's title may be positioned at the left side, display text vertically and will look like Y-axis title. And it can wrap text.

Hello Roman, 

Thank you for writing back. 

Please excuse us for the misunderstanding. Wrapping the axis' title element is also not possible. The possible solution that I can suggest is to use the title of RadChartView which supports wrapping. Here is a sample code snippet:

this.radChartView1.Title = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit";
this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitlePosition = TitlePosition.Left;
this.radChartView1.ShowTitle = true;
this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitleElement.TextOrientation = Orientation.Vertical;
this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitleElement.TextWrap = true;
this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitleElement.FlipText = true;

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
