Custom Line Annotation

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

This topic describes the properties of the CartesianCustomLineAnnotation.

CartesianCustomLineAnnotation Properties

• ClipToPlotArea (bool): Gets or sets a value indicating whether the annotation will be clipped to the bounds of the plot area.
• Label (string): Gets or sets the label of the annotation.
• Stroke (DoubleCollection): Gets or sets the Brush that specifies how the shape outline is painted.
• StrokeThickness (double): Gets or sets the width of the shape stroke outline.
• StrokeDashArray (DoubleCollection): Gets or sets a collection of double values that indicates the pattern of dashes and gaps that is used to outline stroked series.
• HorizontalAxis (CartesianAxis): Gets or sets the horizontal axis that the annotation is associated with. If no axis is specified, the annotation will automatically use the chart's primary horizontal axis.
• VerticalAxis (CartesianAxis): Gets or sets the vertical axis that the annotation is associated with. If no axis is specified, the annotation will automatically use the chart's primary vertical axis.
• HorizontalFrom (object): Gets or sets the start horizontal coordinate of the annotation.
• HorizontalTo (object): Gets or sets the end horizontal coordinate of the annotation.
• VerticalFrom (object): Gets or sets the start vertical coordinate of the annotation.
• VerticalTo (object): Gets or sets the end vertical coordinate of the annotation.

Example of CartesianCustomLineAnnotation

Example 1 demonstrates how to add CartesianCustomLineAnnotation to a RadCartesianChart.
