Chart FX-Customizing an Axis
The easiest way to customize an axis is through the Chart FX Smart Tag Wizard. This design-time tool gives you access to the most common axes settings such as fonts, gridlines and labels. Simply click on the icon located on the upper-right portion of the chart and select the “Configure Axes and Panes" option as depicted in the following figure:
If this is not enough, you can still access additional axis settings in the Visual Studio Properties list which will allow you to change virtually any axis settings including labeling, scaling and formatting attributes like colors, gridlines and tickmarks. Finally, all axis properties are available through the Axis class in the Chart FX API. For accessibility purposes, the AxisX and AxisY are also exposed to let you code your numerical and categorical axes quickly and easily.
