Hello lovely SciChart people,

An update for you. SciChart v3.0 now supports templating of Axis Titles natively. Please see the SciChart v3.0 Release Notes.

5. Axis Styling improvements

• Chart Titles, Axis Titles and Labels can now be styled
• Can set font size, font style, font weight on Axis labels
• Now supports optional rotation of axis tick labels (e.g. 90 degrees)

Usage:

<!-- Styling Tick Labels with rotation and custom font-size and foreground -->
<s:DateTimeAxis>
    <s:DateTimeAxis.TickLabelStyle>
        <Style TargetType="s:DefaultTickLabel">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="25" />
            <Setter Property="LayoutTransform">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <RotateTransform Angle="45" />
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>
    </s:DateTimeAxis.TickLabelStyle>
</s:DateTimeAxis>
</pre>

<!-- Styling Numeric Axis Tick Labels -->
<s:NumericAxis>
    <s:NumericAxis.TickLabelStyle>
        <Style TargetType="s:NumericTickLabel">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Blue" />
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="25" />
        </Style>
    </s:NumericAxis.TickLabelStyle>
</s:NumericAxis>

<!-- Declare an Axis Title Template -->
<Style x:Key="BottomAxisTitleStyle" TargetType="s:AxisTitle">
    <Setter Property="ContentTemplate">
        <Setter.Value>
            <DataTemplate>
                <StackPanel>
                    <TextBlock Margin="0,3,0,0"
                                Style="{StaticResource TitleTextStyle}"
                                Text="Showing time on"/>
                    <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                                VerticalAlignment="Center"
                                Text="{Binding}" />
                    <TextBlock Margin="0,0,0,3"
                                Style="{StaticResource TitleTextStyle}"
                                Text="(daily Timeframe)"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

<!-- Apply an Axis Title Template -->
<s:DateTimeAxis AxisTitle="Time Axis Title" TitleStyle="{StaticResource BottomAxisTitleStyle}"  Style="{StaticResource AxisStyle}"/>

<!-- Apply an Axis Title Template -->
<s:DateTimeAxis AxisTitle="Time Axis Title" TitleStyle="{StaticResource BottomAxisTitleStyle}"  Style="{StaticResource AxisStyle}"/>

Also the XAML Styling application demonstrates this.
