Scale Title

In This Topic

Each scale configurator has a Title property allowing you to control the title of the axis. The following code will change the title of the primary Y axis:

C#	Copy Code
NCartesianChart chart = (NCartesianChart)nChartControl1.Charts[0]; NAxis primaryY = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY); primaryY.ScaleConfigurator.Title = "Axis Title";

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim chart As NCartesianChart = NChartControl1.Charts(0) Dim primaryY As NAxis = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY) primaryY.ScaleConfigurator.Title.Text = "Axis Title"

Title Offset

The title offset allows you to indent the title from the scale labels and ticks by a given amount. The following code will indent the label 10 pixels away from the nearest scale decoration (label or tick):

C#	Copy Code
NCartesianChart chart = (NCartesianChart)nChartControl1.Charts[0]; NAxis primaryY = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY); NScaleConfigurator scaleConfigurator = primaryY.ScaleConfigurator; scaleConfigurator.Title.Text = "Axis Title"; scaleConfigurator.Title.Offset = new NLength(20, NGraphicsUnit.Pixel);

Copy Code

NCartesianChart chart = (NCartesianChart)nChartControl1.Charts[0];
NAxis primaryY = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY);
NScaleConfigurator scaleConfigurator = primaryY.ScaleConfigurator;
scaleConfigurator.Title.Text = "Axis Title";
scaleConfigurator.Title.Offset = new NLength(20, NGraphicsUnit.Pixel);

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Dim chart As NCartesianChart = NChartControl1.Charts(0) Dim primaryY As NAxis = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY) Dim scaleConfigurator As NScaleConfigurator = primaryY.ScaleConfigurator scaleConfigurator.Title.Text = "Axis Title" scaleConfigurator.Title.Offset = New NLength(20, NGraphicsUnit.Pixel)

Visual Basic

Copy Code

Dim chart As NCartesianChart = NChartControl1.Charts(0)
Dim primaryY As NAxis = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY)
Dim scaleConfigurator As NScaleConfigurator = primaryY.ScaleConfigurator
scaleConfigurator.Title.Text = "Axis Title"
scaleConfigurator.Title.Offset = New NLength(20, NGraphicsUnit.Pixel)
