How to put Labels inside Y Axis

The labeling of the axis will depend on the scale that you are setting. If you have a y-axis from 0-100 with a step of 10, then labeling the axis can be done as follows:

chart1.AxisY.Labels[0] = "Label 1";

chart1.AxisY.Labels[8] =

"Label 2";

chart1.AxisY.Labels[16] =

"Label 3";

This is fine. Generally all lables comes just before Y Axis. But I want to display all labels after Y axis. SO It should be inside Y axis.

You cannot move the axis label inside of the chart; you can, however, rotate them around their position. If you need labels inside the chart and along the axis, I recommend you use annotations for this.

As you advised, I tried to use annotation. But I am not able to provide exact top position for annotaion. Can you please advise some way to get accurate top position.

Actually I want to create a gantt chart with 2 bars for each items. My plan is to create 3 bars instead of 2 bars for each item. The value for 3rd bar would be zero and here I can provide annotation with lable text. But I am facing problem in positioning the annotation.

 Please Help

Another suggestion:

Use Custom Gridlines. For example:

CustomGridLine cg = new CustomGridLine();

cg.ShowLine =

false; // No line, just text

cg.Value = 90;

cg.Text = "Label 90";

chart1.AxisY.CustomGridLines.Add(cg);

Thanks frank for quick reply.

 Can you please advise under which component I can get Custom Gridlines?

This is for your reference, I am working on ChartFx .NET 6.2 version using Visual Studio 2003.

The equivalent in ChartFX .NET 6.2 is ConstantLine. You can find a sample code in the Samples & Resource Center which is installed with your product; however, for your convenience, I am pasting the code snippet here:

SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Server.ConstantLine constantLine = chart1.ConstantLines[0];

constantLine.Value = 30;

constantLine.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

constantLine.Axis = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.AxisItem.Y;

constantLine.Text = "Alarm Limit 1";

constantLine.Width = 1;

constantLine.Style = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash;

constantLine = chart1.ConstantLines[1];

constantLine.Value = 3;

constantLine.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;

constantLine.Axis = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.AxisItem.X;

constantLine.Text = "Limit 2";

constantLine.Width = 3;

chart1.Gallery =SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Gallery.Curve;

chart1.MarkerShape = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.MarkerShape.None;
