Default Value: 'ellipsis'
Accepted Values: 'ellipsis' | 'hide' | 'none'

Specifies how to wrap the axis title if it does not fit into a single line.

Default Value: 'normal'
Accepted Values: 'normal' | 'breakWord' | 'none'

The following modes are available:

    Text breaks only at allowed breakpoints (for example, a space between two words).

  • "breakWord"
    Words can be broken if there are no available breakpoints in the line.

  • "none"
    Word wrap is disabled.

If the text overflows the container even after word wrap, the UI component applies the textOverflow property.

Use the VizWordWrap enum to specify this property when the UI component is used as an ASP.NET MVC 5 Control or a DevExtreme-Based ASP.NET Core Control. This enum accepts the following values: Normal, BreakWord, and None.
