Summary
Chart FX allows you to set a 3D rotation on a selected axis using the supported members of the API.

Description
Chart FX for .NET supports properties exposed by the Chart class that allow you to set a 3D rotation angle for a selected axis. The AngleX and AngleY properties provide the mechanism for setting the rotation angle to the respective axis. In order to property set the AngleX and AngleY members, you must configure the chart for both 3D and rotation views using the Chart3D and View3D properties. Below is an example of setting a 3D rotation angle (45 degrees) for both the X and Y axes programmatically:

VB:

Chart1.Chart3D = True
Chart1.View3D = True
Chart1.AngleX = 45
Chart1.AngleY = 45

Note: The Chart3D and View3D properties must be set to True in order to set a 3D rotation angle.

The Chart FX ToolBar also includes commands for rotating the chart axes, however, will only be available once you have set the chart to 3D and rotation view. These commands will then rotate the chart using common angle values 30, 45, 60, etc.
