Axis Labels

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

}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
Categories
Using the categories property, you can configure the Start, End, Text, and MaximumTextWidth of 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.

}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.

}Customizing Specific Point
You can customize the specific text in the axis labels using AxisLabelRender event.

}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.
