Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to add a threshold line after the chart control has been added to the design surface. The chart uses a non-recurring strip line to show a calculation of the mean of all data points in a series.

Remarks

When this property is set to a value of Auto, the text is oriented based on the chart type. For all X-Y chart types other than Bar, X-axis strip line text is oriented horizontally from left to right on the bottom of the strip line. For Bar charts, X-axis strip line text is oriented vertically from top to bottom to the right of the strip line.
