Object

The axis title is a short text displayed alongside the axis. Usually, the axis title shows units of measurement for values displayed by the axis. You can put any text in the axis title though.

DevExtreme HTML5 Charts AxisTitles

If you assign an object to the title property, specifying the text field of this object is necessary for the axis title to be displayed. Besides the object, the title property accepts a string, thus providing a shortcut for setting the axis title. Therefore, this:

title: 'Axis Title'

is the same as this:

title: {
    text: 'Axis Title'
}

Type:

String

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

Use the VizTextOverflow 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: Ellipsis, Hide, and None.

wordWrap

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

Type:

String

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

The following modes are available:

  • "normal"
    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.
