Splitting point labels

[DannE]

Is is possible to split point labels over two lines? Lets say I have a column name "Intra sector" in the dataset and I want to display it, in the bar charts, as:

Intra Sector  

on one of the bar..is it doable?

It is possible to split a string and show it as a point label. Below is a code snippet showing this:

string myLabel = "Intra\nSector";

 Chart1.Point[0, 0].Tag = myLabel;

 Chart1.PointLabelMask = "%L";

 Chart1.PointLabels = true;

You can search the ChartFX Samples and Resource Center (Documentation installed with the product) for more information on the PointLabelMask property. Basically, you will need to retrieve the label from your dataset, to split it you can use the newline character (\n), and then assign it to the tag property. The %L is used to show the value of the tag property, respectively.

Thanks.. 

on similar lines is it possible to set the legends of each series? I have been trying

Chart1.Series[0].Legend = "Series 1" but it doesn't work...

That line should work as expected. I just tried it myself and it changed the legend for that series. Are you displaying the DataEditor or the SerLegBox? If not, please do so and you will see the changed text displayed. This is what I did:

Chart1.Series[0].Legend = "Series 1";

Chart1.SerLegBox = true;
