The Chart control supports the creation of additional custom axes through the use of the chart's CustomAxes collection. Once a custom axis has been added to the collection, in addition to setting the normal axis properties, you will need to set the following properties:
![]() |
The following code sample demonstrates creating a custom axis, adding it to the Axes collection for the ChartArea, and setting its properties.
