Hello,

In your Bar-chart gallery you have an example chart with "Tomatoes", "Oranges", "Bananas" etc. etc.. The X-Axis of this chart displays 1, 2, 3.. I was wondering if it is possible to make the X-Axis display "Tomatoes", "Oranges" instead of numbers.. And if so, how do you do it?

Regards, Johan

Hi Johan,

 

Yes - you can disable automatic labels and add custom ones, using a slightly different approach, which also allows you to have control over value, style, angle etc. The following code snippet shows how to achieve this:

 

NChart chart = nChartControl1.Charts[0];

 

NBarSeries bar = (NBarSeries)chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Bar);

bar.Values.Add(10);

bar.Values.Add(20);

bar.Values.Add(30);

 

NOrdinalScaleConfigurator scale = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScaleConfigurator as NOrdinalScaleConfigurator;

scale.AutoLabels = false;

 

NCustomValueLabel valLabel1 = new NCustomValueLabel();

valLabel1.Value = 0;

valLabel1.Text = "Red";

valLabel1.Style.TextStyle.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(Color.Red);

scale.CustomLabels.Add(valLabel1);

 

NCustomValueLabel valLabel2 = new NCustomValueLabel();

valLabel2.Value = 1;

valLabel2.Text = "Green";

valLabel2.Style.TextStyle.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(Color.Green);

scale.CustomLabels.Add(valLabel2);

 

NCustomValueLabel valLabel3 = new NCustomValueLabel();

valLabel3.Value = 2;

valLabel3.Text = "Blue";

valLabel3.Style.TextStyle.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(Color.Blue);

scale.CustomLabels.Add(valLabel3);

Hope this helps - let me know if you meet any problems.

 

Best regards,
Bob
