x Category not showing as required

[Ramakrishna]

Hi,
I attached 2 images with this post
Currentgraph:  it is the my current rendering chart using telerik chart.
Imagegraph: it is the expected graph

actually right now i am getting the graph what i need but in x axis i need to show only month names like January February.
below is the sample data  i have

Date	Month	Hour	Aggregate
1/1/2010	January	0	408
1/1/2010	January	1	405
1/1/2010	January	2	399
1/2/2010	February	0	415
1/2/2010	February	1	407
1/2/2010	February	2	407
1/3/2010	March	0	399
1/3/2010	March	1	408
1/3/2010	March	2	401

i want to show Aggregate in y axis
Month in X- axis.(month should be show like category type like all January values should be group it means for each aggregate value i dont need to show January January January January like instead of only one January is enough for all values)

right now i did like that only but my graph look like in currentgraph.png file(problem here is in x- axis it is giving numbers why it is giving like that  i dont know because i didn't tell to that give me like that apart from that every thing is coming good)

below i am pasting my current code feel free to change the code to meet my requirement in imagegraph.png(no need to show Hour and Date is X-axis i written because to show i dont want to group Aggregate value by month name)

Thank you in advance

Hi,

1. If you want to have the axis Y title rotated you can use the AxisY.AxisStyles. But keep in mind that the axis Y title was never intended to be rotated so you might have some difficulties setting it to look as you want (if difficulties arise you can consider placing a text block manually instead). This code will get you started with the axis styles:

<telerik:AxisY>
 <telerik:AxisY.AxisStyles>
  <telerik:AxisStyles>
   <telerik:AxisStyles.TitleStyle>
    <Style TargetType="telerik:AxisTitle" >
     <Setter Property="Height" Value="80" />
      <Setter Property="RenderTransform">
       <Setter.Value>
        <RotateTransform Angle="90" />

 
3. Month in X- axis.
Unfortunately there is no way to achieve what you have described and depicted in the attached images. The X axis has major and minor ticks and some of the major ticks have labels. Thus there is no way to achieve such a complex layout.

4. In the CurrentGraph image the axis labels are clustered really close together. You can read this help topic to get some ideas how you can have less labels, so that the text in the labels is readable. You can set some TicksDistance, rotation angle and default label format to accomplish this task.

All the best,
