XAxis Label Rotation

[Tiago]

Hello,

I have this issue that I set the XAxis label Rotation through the property "PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle" but this value is ignored.

I've managed to find what makes this annoying bug, it seems that when I set an skin this issue appears, and the way that I found to have the rotation and the look of the skin is to comment or delete the line that sets the skin name like the one below:

this.chart1.Skin = "Telerik";

Is this an known issue? The thing is that I don't have the latest version, I use the Q3 2010 and the company is not thinking to buy right now the latest version.

Thanks!
Tiago Ribeiro

Hello Tiago,

This is a known problem with the chart item and in fact setting the skin would override various other styling properties i.e. this is not a simple fix and addressing it would require changing the current chart item architecture. We have it in mind and have plans to improve the chart item a lot for subsequent versions of the product.

Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Best wishes,
Steve

Hello Salma,

I've attached a sample report that has the XAxis labels rotated on 90 degrees. Please compare the reports and see what differs in your case. If you're unable to pinpoint the culprit, it would be best to open a support ticket and attach a sample report that exhibits the issue.

All the best,
