Wrap the text on the labels in Bar Chart

[Shobha]

Hi,

   I have a horizontal stacked Bar chart and I have labels for each of the sections in the Bar chart. Is there any option to wrap the text on the labels?, so that they don't overlap. Also please give me some pointers on adding legend in Bar chart.
(Im using windows phone8)

Thanks
Shobha

Hello Shobha,

Thank you for the question.

If you wish to wrap the text of the labels, you can use the LabelTemplate property of the axis:

<chart:CategoricalAxis>
    <chart:CategoricalAxis.LabelTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" Width="70" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </chart:CategoricalAxis.LabelTemplate>
</chart:CategoricalAxis>

You can also try these axis settings:

<chart:CategoricalAxis LabelRotationAngle="30" LabelFitMode="Rotate">

<chart:CategoricalAxis LabelFitMode="MultiLine"/>

As to the legend, the chart does not implement such feature, but you can vote for it in our Ideas & Feedback Portal to raise its priority.

I hope this was useful. Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.
