How can I move the labes down?
I would like to add some space between the chart and the labels. It is possible?
I'm using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart
Like in this edited in mspaint:
This answer will be under the assumption that you are using CustomLabels on the X-axis:
It is possible, but I am not aware of such a setting. But I can offer a pragmatic solution (i.e. a bit of a hack): Namely you reenable the gridtickmarks on the X-axis, but set Color to Transparent, after that you can adjust the distance to the axis by using MajorTickMark.Size (default 1), the tick marks will not be visible:
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorTickMark.Enabled = true;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorTickMark.LineColor = Color.Transparent;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorTickMark.Size = 1;
// You can increase MajorTickMark.Size to increase distance to the axis
And incase someone want to have both visible tickmarks and labels on an axis:
Look into using DataPoint.AxisLabel in your series rather than using CustomLabels on the X-axis. DataPoint.AxisLabel will add a label on the axis for each datapoint. The axis-labels will then have the same distance to the axis as normal interval labels. There is a trick to it, that if the first and last data point in a series have an AxisLabel set the axis interval numbers will be hidden and leave only the axis labels.

How can I prevent a WinForms Chart object from autosizing on the X axis when a new tickmark comes up?
A picture, or in this case a gif, is worth a thousand words:
See the little jump when a new gridline, tick, and label show up? Super annoying.
I'm pretty sure that the setting is somewhere in chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX but I haven't been able to find anything that prevents this from happening.
Where should I look?
When adding points at some point a new axis label must be added at each new interval. Since it is drawn centered at the value the chart needs to make room for it to both sides. The extra room to the right side then takes a while to be filled with data. This results in the jumps..
In my test the most straightforward solution was to simply omit the last axis label:
Axis ax = chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX;
ax.LabelStyle.IsEndLabelVisible = false;
Of course turning it back on when no more points are being added is a good idea.
Another, much more involved solution might be to disable the axis labels altogether and draw them in a xxxPaint event..
I have a Y-Axis Label as shown here:
I am trying to position the label closer to the chart, is there any facility to do this?
I could add a Winforms Label and position it accordingly but just in case there is a better way.
If you are talking about the AxisY.Title AvGkW you can't position it other than aligning it near, center, far.
But you can add as many Titles to your Chart as you want, dock them to all four corners of the earth, um, Chart, style them and set their offset..
After you have added your Title like this:
Title TT = new Title( yourTitleText, Docking.Left, yourFont, yourcolor);
TT.Docking = Docking.Left;
yourChart.Titles.Add(TT);
You can move it left and right like this:
TT.DockingOffset = yourOffset;
It isn't in the specs here on MSDN but as usual it is in 1/100 of the Chart.Size, so setting it to 50 moves the Title into the middle of the ChartArea.. It is an int32 strangely!
You will have to play with the number depending on the size of the Y-Labels and the position of the Y-Axis. Values of 2-7 are OK here..
I have a chart that has times on X axes. How can I remove the gaps in between the points on the X axes? I think that it might be called interval or scale or something but I'm not sure where in the properties I can find it.
I assume that you are using Microsoft Chart controls and you are trying to fit the "time" labels within the XAxis length.
You can set the LabeAutoFitStyle property of the ChartArea's XAxis as fitted for your requirement. See this MSDN link for different LabelAutoFitStyles.
chart1.ChartAreas[ChartName].AxisX.LabelAutoFitStyle = LabelAutoFitStyles.LabelsAngleStep45;
If you want to change the intervals and number of intervals used in display, use AxisX.Interval and AxisX.IntervalAutoMode property.
I have a c# chart control that shows dates along the horizontal (x) axis. I want to show gridlines only on thosex axis points that represent the start of the month. How may I do this.
I guess you mean mscharts so it could be
chartArea.AxisX.MinorGrid.Enabled = false;
The ones corresponding to the datapoints is the MajorGrid which can also be toggled similarly.
you can also do the same for the Y axis too.
I am currently using Microsoft Chart Controls to generate a box plot chart. I have enabled the IsValueShownAsLabel property of the chart's series, but only the first y-value(lower whisker) value is being labeled. Is there a way to enable the labeling of all y-values in the chart?
Also, is there a way to get a different axis for each data point? The different data points of the chart are not related when it comes to value ranges, so many data points with small y-values are difficult to read on the chart. I have currently enabled scrolling as a workaround, but am not satisfied with the result. I would instead like to have a different y-axis for each data point, so that the y-values for each data point take up the full height of the chart, with the min and max whisker values serving as the y-axis minimum and maximum points. Is this possible?
To get different axis you will need to look into the properties under ScaleBreakStyle under AxisY
Set something like
Chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.Enabled = true;
Chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.BreakLineStyle = Charting.BreakLineStyle.Wave;
// set this to an even lower value if required
Chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.ScaleBreakStyle.CollapsibleSpaceThreshold = 15;
Not sure on how to get multiple values but can you try setting those values specifically to the labels in these format #VALY1,#VALY2 depending on the number of Y values available.
