How to set the x & y axis fontsize in MSChart
-
I am having a problem setting the x & y axis fontsize in MSChart. I have played with the settings through the properties window, but when I run it, nothing changes. I can find out what the size currently is by typing:
float size = Chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.TitleFont.SizeInPoints;and that will bring up a size of 8. I do not know how to then set the size to something I want. I've tried:Chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.TitleFont.Size.Equals(50);which does nothing, and I've also triedChart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.TitleFont.SizeInPoints = 10;which gives me an error of "Property or indexer 'System.Drawing.Font.SizeInPoints' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only" So does anyone know what I can type to set the axis? Thanks for your help! John Michael -

Thanks for your help! John MichaelHi, in .NET some properties are read-only, i.e. you can get them but not set them. Most often then there also is a "bigger" property that can be set. Example: Form.Width is not settable, Form.Size is settable. In your particular case you have to set a new TitleFont. :)

That makes sense, but I'm not sure how to do that b/c TitleFont is not a type. Could you give me an example?
Sorry no, I never used MSChart. Anyway, isn't TitleFont holding a Font instance? :)
