I would like to increase the font size used to draw labels on the X-Axis, and perhaps make it bold as well. What properties can I use to achieve this? I have not been able to find this in the samples or documentation. Thank you.

Hi Michael,

You can easily modify the labels font, color etc. from the text style property which is common for all elements that display text. The following code snippet shows how to add custom labels with altered font name, size, color and additional XML formatting:

NChart chart = nChartControl1.Charts[0];
NBarSeries bar = new NBarSeries();
bar.Values.Add(10);
bar.Values.Add(20);
bar.Values.Add(30);
chart.Series.Add(bar);

NOrdinalScaleConfigurator scale = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScaleConfigurator as NOrdinalScaleConfigurator;
scale.LabelStyle.TextStyle.FontStyle.Style = FontStyle.Italic;
scale.LabelStyle.TextStyle.FontStyle.EmSize = new NLength(13, NGraphicsUnit.Point);
scale.LabelStyle.TextStyle.FontStyle.Name = "Tahoma";
scale.LabelStyle.TextStyle.FillStyle = new NColorFillStyle(Color.Red);
scale.LabelStyle.TextStyle.TextFormat = TextFormat.XML;
scale.Labels.Add("Label <font color = 'black'><b>One</b></font>");
scale.Labels.Add("Label <font color = 'black'><b>Two</b></font>");
scale.Labels.Add("Label <font color = 'black'><b>Three</b></font>");
scale.AutoLabels = false;

The following links in the documentation discuss the properties of the NTextStyle object:

Rich text formatting is explained here:

Hope this helps - let us know if you meet any problems or have any questions.
