Pane(System.String)

Defines the name of the pane that the axis must be rendered in. The axis will be rendered in the first (default) pane if not set.

Parameters

pane - System.String

The value that configures the name of the pane.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")

                           panes.Add().Title("Value");
                           panes.Add("volumePane").Title("Volume");
                       })
                       .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                           .Pane("volumePane")
                       )
            )

Color(System.String)

Sets the color for all axis elements. It can be overridden by the individual settings (Labels or Lines).

Parameters

color - System.String

The value of the color.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")
                       .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                           .Color("#ff0000")
                       )
            )

Reverse(System.Boolean)

If set to "true", the axis direction will be reversed.

Parameters

reverse - System.Boolean

A value indicating if the axis labels must be rendered in reverse.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")
                       .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                           .Reverse(true)
                       )
            )

Reverse()

If set to "true", the axis direction will be reversed.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")
                       .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                           .Reverse(true)
                       )
            )

Visible(System.Boolean)

Sets the visibility of the axis.

Parameters

visible - System.Boolean

The option that toggles the visibility of the axis.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                      .Name("chart")
                      .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                          .Visible(false)
                      )
            )

StartAngle(System.Double)

Defines the angle (degrees) where the first axis value is placed. The angles increase clockwise and zero is to the left. The negative values are acceptable.

Parameters

startAngle - System.Double

The start angle value.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                      .Name("chart")
                      .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                          .StartAngle(180)
                      )
            )

NarrowRange(System.Boolean)

If set to "true", the Chart will narrow the value axis range to display data points in detail. When the option is disabled, the Chart will force the automatic axis range to start from 0 or the explicitly specified.

Parameters

narrowRange - System.Boolean

The value that enables or disables the NarrowRange option.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")
                       .ValueAxis(axis => axis
                           .Numeric()
                           .NarrowRange(false)
                       )
            )

Background(System.String)

Sets the background color of the axis.

Parameters

background - System.String

The value that configures the background color.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")
                       .CategoryAxis(axis => axis.Background("#ff0000"))
            )

RangeLabels(System.Action)

Defines the configuration of the range labels of the date axis.

Parameters

configurator - System.Action<ChartAxisRangeLabelsBuilder>

The action that configures the range labels settings.

Example


            @(Html.Kendo().Chart()
                       .Name("chart")
                       .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                            .Date()
                            .RangeLabels(labels => labels.Color("green").Visible(true))
                       )
            )
