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 provide.

Categories

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