Hi Georgi

Thanks a lot for your help on this.

1/ I have been playing around with the rectangle for the legend location but was hoping for more friendly and less risky means of positioning.

2/ I have attached a copy of the C# code and a screenshot of the application. You will notice the term "Monthly" along the XAxis near the bottom, that is the text I want to hide but I still want to display the term "Monthly" in the legend, just remove from the XAxis is all I am after.

I cannot seem to attach a zip file to these posts, no toolbar item and Firefox will not let me paste in a zip file. How do you guys do it.

Hello geoffhop,

I`m not sure that I understand your issue, because I`m still not able to see your screenshot. Please zip your screenshot and upload it again using "Option" Tab.

Are you talking about Titles in the chart or you are talking about the axis lables ?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards

Hi Georgi

Sorry about the confusion.

I have got the hang of the attachments now!!!

I am talking about the XAxis Label "Monthly" under the XAxis, I would like to hide it but leave the legend unaffected.

Thanks again

geoffhop

Thanks Georgi that fixed it

Regards

geoffhop

Here is the sample

Hi

Thanks for attached code and screenshot. To acheive desired behavior you should set :

xAxis.Labels.SeriesLabels.Visible = false;

Please take a look at the sample that I create using your code and my modifications.

Let me know if you have any questions

Regards
