How to customize the axis labels in Xamarin.Forms Chart?

Xamarin.Forms Chart supports customization of its axis labels using the LabelStyle property of ChartAxis. By using the LabelStyle property, you can customize the following aspects of the axis labels:

• BorderColor—Color of the background border.
• BorderThickness—Thickness of the background border.
• BackgroundColor—Background fill color.
• Font—Represents the size, font-family, and font-weight of the text.
• LabelPosition—Represents the position of the axis labels. Whether it can be inside or outside of the chart area.
• LabelFormat—Formatter string of the labels.
• Margin—Represents the margin between the label and background rectangle.
• TextColor—Color of the labels.

The following code example illustrates the customization of the axis label’s font, position, format, and its color.

C#

chart.PrimaryAxis.LabelStyle.Font = Font.SystemFontOfSize(30);
chart.PrimaryAxis.LabelStyle.LabelsPosition = AxisElementPosition.Inside;
chart.PrimaryAxis.LabelStyle.LabelFormat = "MMM";
chart.PrimaryAxis.LabelStyle.TextColor = Color.Red;

XAML

<chart:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>
      <chart:DateTimeAxis >             
        <chart:DateTimeAxis.LabelStyle>
          <chart:ChartAxisLabelStyle LabelFormat = "MMM" LabelsPosition="Inside" TextColor="Red">            
            <chart:ChartAxisLabelStyle.Font>
              <Font FontSize="30"/>
            </chart:ChartAxisLabelStyle.Font>            
          </chart:ChartAxisLabelStyle>          
        </chart:DateTimeAxis.LabelStyle>        
      </chart:DateTimeAxis>
    </chart:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>
