Chart Elements - X Axis

I suggest using a little self control ;) just use the X axis auto labels and forget about it. Don't try and make your chart too complex...

Auto X axis labels, let the chart calculate the labels:

• X Axis auto lables do the best job with minimal coding
• Look and feel of the axis elements
• The X axis is offset from either edge by default. You can turn this off.
• Label text colour, rotation and size. Style it the way you want.
• Only show some of the labels and/or grid lines, label step.

• Pass in a list of labels, use steps to only show some of them.
• Use label styles to colour, font-size and rotate the labels.

• For total control use a list of label objects to style individual labels.

Don't forget that you can use your X axis label in the tooltip string by using the magic variable #x_label#.

Thanks to dz_ (David Zoller) for all his patches that made the X axis work like a dream.
