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.

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

Overflow

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

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.

                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Australia", gold=60},
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "France", gold=50 },
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Germany", gold=40 },

        {
            public string country;
            public double gold;

Customizing Specific Point

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

tagHelper

custom-point.cs

<ejs-chart id="container" width="50%" axisLabelRender="axisLabelRender">
        <e-chart-primaryxaxis valueType="Category">
        </e-chart-primaryxaxis>
        <e-series-collection>
            <e-series dataSource="ViewBag.dataSource" xName="country" yName="gold" type="@Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Column" name="Product X"></e-series>
        </e-series-collection>
    </ejs-chart>
<script>
    axisLabelRender=function(args) {
        if (args.text === 'France') {
            args.labelStyle.color = 'red';
        }
    }
</script>

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<ColumnChartData> chartData = new List<ColumnChartData>
            {
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Russia", gold=50  },
                new ColumnChartData{ country="China", gold=40 },
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Japan", gold=70 },
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Australia", gold=60},
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "France", gold=50 },
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Germany", gold=40 },
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "Italy", gold=40 },
                new ColumnChartData{ country= "United States", gold=30 }
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
            return View();
        }
        public class ColumnChartData
        {
            public string country;
            public double gold;
        }

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.

Line break support

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

tagHelper

line-break.cs

<ejs-chart id="container" >
               
<e-chart-primaryxaxis title="Country" valueType="Category" enableTrim="true">
    <e-majorgridlines width="0"></e-majorgridlines>
</e-chart-primaryxaxis>
<e-series-collection>
    <e-series dataSource="ViewBag.dataSource" name="Germany" xName="x" yName="y" type="@Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.ChartSeriesType.Bar">
    </e-series>
</e-series-collection>
</ejs-chart>

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            List<CategoryData> chartData = new List<ColumnChartData>
            {
                new CategoryData { x = "Germany", y = 72, country = "GER: 72"},
                new CategoryData { x = "Russia", y = 103.1, country = "RUS: 103.1" },
                new CategoryData { x = "Brazil", y = 139.1, country = "BRZ: 139.1" },
                new CategoryData { x = "India", y = 462.1, country = "IND: 462.1" },
                new CategoryData { x = "China", y = 721.4, country = "CHN: 721.4" },
                new CategoryData { x = "United States<br>Of America", y = 286.9, country = "USA: 286.9" },
                new CategoryData { x = "Great Britain", y = 115.1, country = "GBR: 115.1" },
                new CategoryData { x = "Nigeria", y = 97.2, country = "NGR: 97.2" },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
             ViewBag.font = new
            {
                fontWeight = "600",
                color = "#ffffff"
            };
            return View();
        }
        public class CategoryData
        {
            public string x;
            public double y;
            public string country;
        }

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.

max-label.cs

public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();

        }
