LabelProvider API - Full Control over Axis Labels

All Axis Types include the Axis.LabelProvider property, which allows a class that implement the ILabelProvider interface to be attached to an axis for complete control over axis label output.

Use a LabelProvider when you want to:

• Have fine grained control over Axis Text or Cursor Labels, depending on numeric (or date) values
• Display strings on the XAxis, e.g. “Bananas”, “Oranges”, “Apples” not “1”, “2”, “3”
• Dynamically change the Axis.TextFormatting or Axis.CursorTextFormatting as you zoom in or out
• Dynamically change the Axis.TextFormatting or Axis.CursorTextFormatting depending on Data-value
