X Axis - Text Wrap?

[Randy Minder]

I have a Bar series and the X axis contains the description of each bar. Some of the text is a bit long and runs into the text of the bar next to it. Does RadChart (2011 Q3) support text wrapping on the X axis? I don't see a property for it.

Thanks very much.

Hello Randy,

Currently this can be achieved by setting custom ItemLabelStyle as follows:

<telerikCharting:ChartArea.AxisX>
    <telerikCharting:AxisX MajorGridLinesVisibility="Visible" StripLinesVisibility="Visible">
        <telerikCharting:AxisX.AxisStyles>
            <telerikCharting:AxisStyles ItemLabelStyle="{StaticResource CustomLabel}" />
        </telerikCharting:AxisX.AxisStyles>
    </telerikCharting:AxisX>
</telerikCharting:ChartArea.AxisX>

where:

<Style x:Key="CustomLabel" TargetType="TextBlock">
    <Setter Property="Width" Value="50" />
    <Setter Property="TextWrapping" Value="Wrap" />
</Style>

Kind regards,

Sia,

Thank you very much. Another question - where can I go and learn about all these properties? For example, how would I know that AxisStyles is even a property  that allows me to set the ItemLabelStyle?

Thanks again.
