Thank you for the quick response. BoundsMode.Node worked as suggested.
I have two other questions I hope have easy answers.
1) I found the documentation at
http://helpdotnetvision.nevron.com/. This is very useful and seems to cover most of the customizations I am looking to make. Is there an offline version of the help I can download?
2) The major tick marks change from vertical to horizontal as you rotate the graph. This changes the location of the labels to help them stay visible. Is there a way to disable this behavior and keep the tick mark orientation horizontal?
