DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Axis Labels

Axis labels display values indicated by major axis ticks.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript Charts AxisLabels

You can configure axis labels using the label object. It comprises options that specify the alignment, font, text, and other attributes of axis labels. Pay particular attention to the displayMode option that allows you to rotate or stagger axis labels.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#chartContainer").dxChart({
        // ...
        argumentAxis: { // or valueAxis, or commonAxisSettings
            label: {
                displayMode: "stagger",
                staggeringSpacing: 10
            }
        }
    });
});

TypeScript
<dx-chart ... >
    <dxo-argument-axis> <!-- or dxi-value-axis, or dxo-common-axis-settings -->
        <dxo-label
            displayMode="stagger"
            [staggeringSpacing]="10">
        </dxo-label>
    </dxo-argument-axis>
</dx-chart>
import { DxChartModule } from "devextreme-angular";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        DxChartModule
    ],
    // ...
})
Vue
App.vue
<template> 
    <DxChart ... >
        <DxArgumentAxis> <!-- or DxValueAxis, or DxCommonAxisSettings -->
            <DxLabel
                :staggering-spacing="10"
                display-mode="stagger"
            />
        </DxArgumentAxis>
    </DxChart>
</template>

<script>
import DxChart, {
    DxArgumentAxis,
    DxLabel
} from 'devextreme-vue/chart';

export default {
    components: {
        DxChart,
        DxArgumentAxis,
        DxLabel
    }
}
</script>
React
App.js
import React from 'react';
import Chart, {
    ArgumentAxis,
    Label
} from 'devextreme-react/chart';

class App extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <Chart ... >
                <ArgumentAxis> {/* or ValueAxis, or CommonAxisSettings */}
                    <Label
                        staggeringSpacing={10}
                        displayMode="stagger"
                    />
                </ArgumentAxis>
            </Chart>
        );
    }
}

export default App;

Another noteworthy option is overlappingBehavior. It allows you to decide how axis labels should behave when they overlap each other.

jQuery
JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#chartContainer").dxChart({
        // ...
        argumentAxis: { // or valueAxis, or commonAxisSettings
            label: {
                overlappingBehavior: "rotate",
                rotationAngle: 45
            }
        }
    });
});

            [rotationAngle]="45">
        </dxo-label>
    </dxo-argument-axis>
</dx-chart>
import { DxChartModule } from "devextreme-angular";

            <DxLabel
                :rotation-angle="45"
                overlapping-behavior="rotate"
            />

                    <Label
                        rotationAngle={45}
                        overlappingBehavior="rotate"
                    />
                </ArgumentAxis>
            </Chart>
        );
    }
}

export default App;
