axis titles in gantt chart (extra x-axis)

[Neoteny]

If a x-axis has a title and the gallery is changed to Gantt, the title is displayed vertically. However, if two Axes are placed on the x-axis and the second one (Axis.Item(3)) has a title, the title is not rotated, but placed on the bottom and displayed horizontally. It takes way too much space this way.

I tried the following code and added a title to the primary and the secondary x-axes; when I enabled the ToolBar and changed the Gallery to Gantt, both axes where positioned vertically along with their corresponding titles. The code that I used is below:

Chart1.AxisX.Title.Text = "My X-Axis Title Test"

'The next lines create another x axis and set its properties

Dim axis As Object

Set axis = Chart1.axis(3)

axis.Visible = True

axis.Min = 0

axis.Max = 12

axis.Step = 3

axis.YAxis = False

axis.Gridlines = True

axis.Title.Text = "My Secondary X-Axis Title Test"

I'm sorry, I meant nested axes, not an x-axis at the other side of the chart. Try this code:

Chart1.Gallery = Gallery_Gantt

'Chart1.AxisX.Title.Text = "My X-Axis Title Test"

'The next lines create another x axis and set its properties

Dim axis As axis

Set axis = Chart1.axis(3)

axis.Visible = True

axis.Min = 0

axis.Max = 12

axis.Step = 3

axis.YAxis = False

axis.Gridlines = True

axis.Position = AxisPosition_Center

axis.Title.Text = "My Secondary X-Axis Title Test"

Of course, while trying to adjust your example to match my findings I discovered that axis.Position is the key and that the title is displayed correctly when setting the position to AxisPosition_Near.

Please allow me to say that this is not the most obvious place to look for a change in the vertical orientation of an axis title.
