Updated on Sep 13, 2025

The .NET MAUI Chart control offers advanced customization options for its axes, allowing developers to tailor the appearance and behavior of axis labels according to their needs. This customization can be applied to NumericalAxes, DateTimeAxes, CategoryAxis and LogarithmicAxes. Below are some of the key features for customizing chart axes.

Label Formatting

Label formatting allows you to change how data labels appear on the axes. This is useful for making the data more readable and presentable. You can apply custom formats such as currency, percentage, or custom string formats.

Label Rotation Label rotation is essential when dealing with a large number of labels or long label text, as it improves readability by rotating the label text at a specified angle.

Besides formatting and rotation, you can also adjust other label properties such as font size, color, and style to make the chart more visually appealing and informative.
