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

var chartData = [
    { x: "South Korea", y: 39.4 }, { x: "India", y: 61.3 }, { x: "Pakistan", y: 20.4 },
    { x: "Germany", y: 65.1 }, { x: "Australia", y: 15.8 }, { x: "Italy", y: 29.2 },
    { x: "United Kingdom", y: 44.6 }, { x: "Saudi Arabia", y: 9.7 }, { x: "Russia", y: 40.8 },
    { x: "Mexico", y: 31 }, { x: "Brazil", y: 75.9 }, { x: "China", y: 51.4 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Countries',
        valueType: 'Category',
        //label intersect as hide
        labelIntersectAction: 'Hide'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0, maximum: 80, interval: 10,
        title: 'People(in millions)'
    },
    axes:[
        {
            majorGridLines: { width: 0 },
            rowIndex: 0, opposedPosition: true,
            lineStyle: { width: 0 },
            minimum: 24, maximum: 36, interval: 2,
            name: 'yAxis', title: 'Temperature (Celsius)',
            labelFormat: '{value}°C'
        }
    ],
    series:[{
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'x', yName: 'y',
        name: 'Internet', type: 'Column'
    }],
    title: 'Internet Users'

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.

var chartData = [
      { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
      { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
      { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
      { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },

      { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        // label placement as on ticks
        labelPlacement: 'OnTicks',
        title: 'Countries'

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 using Chart.Inject(MultiLevelLabel) method.

Categories

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

var chartData = [
      { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
      { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
      { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
      { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },
      { country: "France", gold: 50, silver: 45, bronze: 35 },
      { country: "Germany", gold: 40, silver: 30, bronze: 22 },
      { country: "Italy", gold: 40, silver: 35, bronze: 37 },
      { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        // label placement as on ticks
        labelPlacement: 'OnTicks',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
        interval: 20, title: 'Medals'
    },
    series:[{
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        name: 'Gold', type: 'Column'
    }, {
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'silver',
        name: 'Silver', type: 'Column'
    }, {
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'bronze',
        name: 'Bronze', type: 'Column'
    }],
    title: 'Olympic Medals'

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.

var chartData = [
      { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
      { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
      { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
      { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },

Sorting

The chart’s data source can be sorted using the sort method of chart. The arguments that are required to pass to sort method are data of chart. The fields depend on which sorting is performed either x or y, and the isDescending with which data source values are sorted in either ascending or descending.

var chartData = [
      { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
      { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },
      { country: "Japan", gold: 70, silver: 60, bronze: 50 },
      { country: "Australia", gold: 60, silver: 56, bronze: 40 },
      { country: "France", gold: 50, silver: 45, bronze: 35 },
      { country: "Germany", gold: 40, silver: 30, bronze: 22 },
      { country: "Italy", gold: 40, silver: 35, bronze: 37 },
      { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {
        valueType: 'Category',
        // label placement as on ticks
        labelPlacement: 'OnTicks',
        title: 'Countries'
    },
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0, maximum: 80,
        interval: 20, title: 'Medals'

    series:[{
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'gold',
        name: 'Gold', type: 'Column'
    }, {
        dataSource: chartData,
        xName: 'country', yName: 'silver',
        name: 'Silver', type: 'Column'
    }, {

Labels customization

Border of the axis labels can be customized using width, color and type property of the axis.

var chartData = [
      { country: "USA", gold: 50, silver: 70, bronze: 45 },
      { country: "China", gold: 40, silver: 60, bronze: 55 },

      { country: "Italy", gold: 40, silver: 35, bronze: 37 },
      { country: "Sweden", gold: 30, silver: 25, bronze: 27 }
];
var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    primaryXAxis: {

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.

var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
    //Initializing Primary X Axis
    primaryXAxis: {
        title: 'Country',
        valueType: 'Category',
        majorGridLines: { width: 0 },
        enableTrim: false
    },
    //Initializing Primary Y Axis
    primaryYAxis: {
        minimum: 0,
        maximum: 800,
        labelFormat: '{value}M',
    },
    series: [
        {
            type: 'Bar', tooltipMappingName: 'country',
            dataSource: [

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.

var chart = new ej.charts.Chart({
