# Properties

This topic aims to get you familiar with the specific properties of each data bar type.

## DataBinding

* **Value (a property of RadDataBar)**: Expects a value which will be used to determine the size of the bar.

* **ValuePath (a property of RadStackedDataBar and RadStacked100DataBar)** - expects the name of the property from the underlying data item, which will determine the value of each bar in the stack.

## RadDataBar

* **LabelPosition**: It's an enum with several options that you may choose from: Left, Right, EndOfBarInside or EndOfBarOutside. If LabelPosition is set to EndOfBarOutside/EndOfBarInside - the LabelDistance is the maximum distance in pixels between the bar and the textblock. If LabelPosition is set to Left/Right - LabelDistance is the margin of the text block.

* **LabelFormat**: used to specify a label format expression [custom numeric format string](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx) to customize the labels.

* **LabelVisibility**: Controls whether the label should appear or not.

* **LabelStyle**: Customize the RadDataBar labels.

* **BorderBrush**: Provides a Brush to customize the border of the databar. Note that you'll also need to specify a *BorderThickness*.

* **ValueBrush and NegativeValueBrush**: Provides a Brush to customize the appearance of the positive and negative bars respectively.

* **ValueBorderBrush and NegativeValueBorderBrush**: Provides a Brush to customize the border of the positive and negative bars respectively.

* **ShowOutOfRangeIndicators**: Boolean property that controls the visibility of the out-of-range indicators. By default it's value is true. You can read more about it in our Overflow and UnderOverflow templates topic.

* **OriginValue**: Defines an origin for the databar to start at.

## RadStackedDataBar and RadStacked100DataBar

* **BarBrushes**: A Brush collection that is to be used with the bars.

> You can access the RadDataBar controls through an alias pointing to the Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.DataVisualization namespace: xmlns:dataVisualization="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.DataVisualization"

#### **Example 2: RadStackedDataBar BarBrushes property**

```XAML
<dataVisualization:RadStackedDataBar.BarBrushes>
	<dataVisualization:BrushCollection>
		<SolidColorBrush Color="Black" />
		<SolidColorBrush Color="Green" />
		<SolidColorBrush Color="Blue" />
	</dataVisualization:BrushCollection>
</dataVisualization:RadStackedDataBar.BarBrushes>
```

* **BarBorderBrushes**: A Border Brush collection that is to be used with the bars.

* **ShowToolTips**: Controls the visibility of the tooltips.

* **ToolTipFormat**: Used to specify a format expression[ custom numeric format string](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx) to customize the tooltips.

* **AxisVisibility**:  controls the visibility of the axis that will appear at the start of the first bar.

* **AxisStroke**:  Sets stroke for the axis.

* **ToolTipPath**: Sets the name of the property from the underlying data item, which will determine what to be displayed with the tooltip.

* **ValuePath**: Sets the name of the property from the underlying data item, which will determine what the value of the bar is.

* **ValueBrush and NegativeValueBrush**: Provides a Brush to customize the appearance of the positive and negative bars respectively.

* **ValueBorderBrush and NegativeValueBorderBrush**: Provides a Brush to customize the border of the positive and negative bars respectively.

## RadHorizontalAxis

* **LabelStep**: Indicates that one out of n ticks should have a label where n is the value of the property.

* **MajorTickLength**: Controls the size of the major ticks.

* **Minimum and Maximum**: Tshe start and end value for the axis.

* **MinorTickLength**: Controls the size of the minor ticks.

* **Step**: Indicates the step of the ticks. For instance - if the minumum is "-20" and the maximum is "10" and the step is "3" - ticks will be visualized to indicate -20, -17, -14 .. 4, 7, 10.

* **Stroke**: The stroke brush for the Axis.

* **TicksDistance**: Specifies a value indicating that every axis tick should be placed at least n pixels away from the next one, where n is the value of the property. Use when you have too much data to display on the axis to control the number of ticks shown.

> The TickDitance property has a smaller priority than Step. If both Step and TickDistance are set - the axis algorithm that distributes the ticks will only take into consideration the Step property. These two properties should not be used in conjunction.
