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

Note: To use multilevel label feature, we need to inject MultiLevelLabel module into the services.

Overflow

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

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.

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.

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.
