Smart axis labels

When the axis labels overlap with each other, you can use labelIntersectAction property in the axis, to place them smartly.

When setting labelIntersectAction as Hide

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" width='450px' [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='x' yName='y' name='Internet'></e-series>>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

        ];
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           title: 'Countries',
           valueType: 'Category',
           labelIntersectAction: 'Hide'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           minimum: 0, maximum: 80, interval: 10,
           title: 'People(in millions)'
        };
        this.title = 'Internet Users';
    }

    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Axis labels positioning

By default, the axis labels can be placed at outside the axis line and this also can be placed at inside the axis line using the labelPosition property.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container"  [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis: any;
    
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries',
           labelPosition: 'Inside'
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Multilevel labels

Any number of levels of labels can be added to an axis using the multiLevelLabels property. This property can be configured using the following properties:

• Categories
• Overflow
• Alignment
• Text style
• Border

Note: To use multilevel label feature, we need to inject MultiLevelLabel into the @NgModule.providers.

Categories

Using the categories property, you can configure the start, end, text, and maximumTextWidth of multilevel labels.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' [legendSettings]='legendSettings'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    primaryYAxis: any;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           multiLevelLabels:[{ categories: [
                        {
                            //Start and end values of the multi-level labels accepts number, date and sring values
                            start: -0.5,
                            end: 3.5,
                            //Multi-level label's text.
                            text: 'Half Yearly 1',

                        },
                        { start: 3.5, end: 7.5, text: 'Half Yearly 2' },
                    ]}]
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Overflow

Using the overflow property, you can trim or wrap the multilevel labels.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' [legendSettings]='legendSettings'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    primaryYAxis: any;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           multiLevelLabels:[{
               categories: [{start: -0.5, end: 3.5, text: 'Half Yearly 1', maximumTextWidth:50},
                        { start: 3.5, end: 7.5, text: 'Half Yearly 2', maximumTextWidth:50 }],
               overflow:'Trim'
           }]
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Alignment

The alignment property provides option to position the multilevel labels at far, center, or near.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'
    [legendSettings]='legendSettings'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    primaryYAxis: any;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           multiLevelLabels:[{
               categories: [{start: -0.5, end: 3.5, text: 'Half Yearly 1' },
                        { start: 3.5, end: 7.5, text: 'Half Yearly 2' }],
                alignment :'Far'
           }]
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Text customization

The textStyle property of multilevel labels provides options to customize the size, color, fontFamily, fontWeight, fontStyle, opacity, textAlignment and textOverflow.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'
    [legendSettings]='legendSettings'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    primaryYAxis: any;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           multiLevelLabels:[{
               categories: [{start: -0.5, end: 3.5, text: 'Half Yearly 1' },
                        { start: 3.5, end: 7.5, text: 'Half Yearly 2' }],
               textStyle:{size:'18px', color:'Red'}
           }]
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Border customization

Using the border property, you can customize the width, color, and type. The type of border
are Rectangle, Brace, WithoutBorder, WithoutTopBorder, WithoutTopandBottomBorder and CurlyBrace.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],

            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    primaryYAxis: any;
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           multiLevelLabels:[{
               categories: [{start: -0.5, end: 3.5, text: 'Half Yearly 1' },
                        { start: 3.5, end: 7.5, text: 'Half Yearly 2' }],
               border:{type:'Brace', color:'Blue', width: 2},
           }]
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Edge label placement

Labels with long text at the edges of an axis may appear partially in the chart. To avoid this,
use edgeLabelPlacement property in axis, which moves the label inside the chart area for better appearance or hides it. By default, the edgeLabelPlacement property is set to Shift to ensure that labels are shifted inside the chart area, avoiding any overlap or coincidence.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { DateTimeService, LineSeriesService, DateTimeCategoryService, StripLineService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { dateData } from './datasource';

    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = dateData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
            valueType: 'DateTime',
            title: 'Sales Across Years',
            labelFormat: 'yMMM',
            edgeLabelPlacement: 'Shift',
            minimum: new Date(2000, 6, 1),
            maximum: new Date(2010, 6, 1)
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           title: 'Sales Amount in millions(USD)'
        };
        this.title = 'Average Sales Comparison';
    }

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Trim using maximum label width

You can trim the label using enableTrim property and width of the labels can also be customized using maximumLabelWidth property in the axis, the value maximum label width is 34 by default.

Labels customization

The labelStyle property of an axis provides options to customize the color, font-family, font-size and font-weight of the axis labels.

To known more about labels customization, you can check on this video:

Label rotation

The axis labels can be rotated based on the labelRotation property in primaryXAxis.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title'
    [legendSettings]='legendSettings'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='silver' name='Silver'></e-series>

})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public primaryYAxis?: Object;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category', labelRotation: 90,
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.primaryYAxis = {
           minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
           interval: 20, title: 'Medals',
           labelFormat: '${value}K',

Customizing specific point

You can customize the specific text in the axis labels using axisLabelRender event.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ChartModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'
import { CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts'



import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { categoryData } from './datasource';
import { IAxisLabelRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';
@Component({
imports: [
         ChartModule
    ],

providers: [ CategoryService, BarSeriesService, ColumnSeriesService, LineSeriesService,LegendService, DataLabelService, MultiLevelLabelService, SelectionService],
standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<ejs-chart id="chart-container" [primaryXAxis]='primaryXAxis'[primaryYAxis]='primaryYAxis' [title]='title' (axisLabelRender) = 'axisLabelRender($event)'
    [legendSettings]='legendSettings'>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series [dataSource]='chartData' type='Column' xName='country' yName='gold' name='Gold' ></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public primaryXAxis?: Object;
    public chartData?: Object[];
    public title?: string;
    public legendSettings: Object = { visible: false};
    primaryYAxis: any;
    public axisLabelRender(args : IAxisLabelRenderEventArgs ): void {
        if(args.text === 'France') {
            args.labelStyle.color = 'Red';
        }
    };
    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.chartData = categoryData;
        this.primaryXAxis = {
           valueType: 'Category',
           title: 'Countries'
        };
        this.title = 'Olympic Medals';
    }

Line break support

Line break feature used to customize the long axis label text into multiple lines by using tag. Refer the below example in that dataSource x value contains long text, it breaks into two lines by using <br> tag.

        { x: 'Nigeria', y: 97.2, country: 'NGR: 97.2' }
    ];
    ngOnInit(): void {

Maximum labels

MaximumLabels property is set, then the labels will be rendered based on the count in the property per 100 pixel. If you have set range (minimum, maximum, interval) and maximumLabels, then the priority goes to range only. If you haven’t set the range, then we have considered priority to maximumLabels property.
