Update:

I figured out how to do it. I assigned the X axis a name in XAML (it didnt have one before).

Then in the code behind... XAxis.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Hidden;

Sure enough... it worked.

Daniel,

That probably means your axis was in the Chart.Axes collection and wasn't suitable for the series+data. The easiest way to troubleshoot this is to define it via the Series.Independent/DependentAxis properties because that way the series knows it's supposed to use that one and can throw if it's not a good match.

Thanks for the reply.

I've tried that. Instead of being hidden, the X axis labels just move to the top of the chart.

Daniel,

I thought I'd blogged about this already, but maybe not. I do what you're asking about here:

blogs.msdn.com/.../peanut-butter-jelly-time-how-to-create-a-pleasing-visual-effect-with-silverlight-wpf-charting.aspx

As I recall, you can't set Visibilty=Collapsed, but have to set the Width/Height (depending on the axis) to1 instead.

Hope that helps!

On a related, but different note...

I dont mean to hijack the post but web searches turn up nothing.

Can we remove the axis labels completely? Or at least hide them from view... make them invisible?

Steve,

Something similar to the above should work - as I recall you can set the height of the horizontal axis to 1 (not 0) to achieve this effect easily. I think I did something like that here: blogs.msdn.com/.../peanut-butter-jelly-time-how-to-create-a-pleasing-visual-effect-with-silverlight-wpf-charting.aspx

This should work just as well in code. Remember that an axis is automatically created if an appropriate one isn't available when a series is added to a chart. So you can either add a suitable axis to begin with and customize it to your liking OR you can add the series and then look through the chart's series collection to find the one that got created and then customize it.

Hope this helps!

I've tried a few of the things you shared in this post, but I still fail to understand how I can completely hide the X-Axis labels. The problem is, my LineSeries are created and added via code (not XAML) and it seems like any style property setters won't have any effect in XAML because there's just nothing on the chart yet. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to get that done in C# either... I'd appreciate any help you may have provide on the topic!

Sina,

Yes - anything you can do in XAML can be done in code. In this case, it would probably be easiest if the code retrieved the Style instance from the page/application's Resources collection, but if you need to, you can create the entire Style in code as well.

Hope this helps!
