How to Style the Series Labels for a Chart

Environment

Product Chart for Blazor

Description

The UI for Blazor Chart is rendered using the HTML Canvas API or Scalable Vector Graphic and that means manipulating the styling and appearance is not possible without an existing API from the chart component.

Solution

In this case, use the ChartSeriesLabelsBase API properties to alter the style and appearance as desired. The properties accept typical CSS styling convention. For example, to bold the Font use a common CSS font-family designation as shown below in the code snippet.

You can also explore the child tags of the labels for more options on controlling borders, margins and paddings. The third series showcases that.

For more detailed control over the text shown in the labels, see the Label Template and Format article.
