# Axis labels properties

These properties define how **labels** are displayed along the **X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis** of a chart element. Labels help users understand what each axis represents and can be fully customized for visual clarity and data accuracy.

## **Labels Settings**

| **Property**             | **Description**                                                                                               |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Font**                 | Specifies the font and style of axis labels. Click the button next to the font field to open the font dialog. |
| **Color**                | Sets the color of the axis labels for better contrast and readability.                                        |
| **Automatic Label Mode** | Automatically determines the number of labels that will fit on the axis and adjusts placement dynamically.    |
| **Manual Label Mode**    | Manually set the number and positioning of labels for precise control.                                        |
| **Angle**                | Sets the rotation angle (in degrees) of the labels relative to the axis. Useful for fitting long text.        |
| **Interval**             | Defines the space (in pixels) between consecutive labels when in manual mode.                                 |
| **Areas**                | When enabled, includes labels for the axis minimum and maximum values.                                        |
| **Axis Minimum Value**   | Specifies the minimum value of the axis to which a label should be assigned.                                  |
| **Axis Maximum Value**   | Specifies the maximum value of the axis to which a label should be assigned.                                  |

## **Data Provider Integration**

| **Property**                           | **Description**                                                                                  |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Show Data Provider Content on Axis** | Enables or disables the use of a data provider to supply the labels dynamically.                 |
| **Data Provider**                      | Select a data provider that represents a connection to a data source (e.g., database, XML, RSS). |
| **Column**                             | Choose the column within the selected data provider that contains the label values.              |

> **Note**: Data providers are defined at the **presentation level** and are available for use across all elements in your presentation. You can create a new data provider directly from this window using the adjacent button. Refer to **Working with Data Providers** for more details.

## **Remarks**

* All properties described above for the **X-axis** are equally applicable to the **Y-axis and Z-axis**.
* When using **Automatic Label Mode**, the system ensures labels are legible and well-spaced, adjusting automatically based on available space.
* **Manual Label Mode** is ideal when precise control over label positions is necessary, such as for fixed intervals or predefined categories.
