In WPF toolkit Column series chart, horizontal axis labels are getting displayed in between 2 tick marks. Is it possible to customize it to display to align with tick marks?

I am working on VS 2010 .Net 4.0 using WPF toolkit dlls.

Please let me know the possibility of it?
if possible, please share the way to achieve it.

            </chartingToolkit:Chart>

valueList = new List<KeyValuePair<string, int>>();
valueList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("1", 90));
valueList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("2", 20));
valueList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("3", 50));
valueList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("4", 100));
valueList.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>("5", 70));
columnChart.DataContext = valueList;

Before you go into a frenzy to do this, it might change your mind if you knew how someone else would interpret the data.

The way I read your second example is:
The first column is figures LESS THAN 1
Then you have the divider for 1
The second column is fitures LESS THAN 2
Then you have the divider for 2
...

So you could spend a ton of time writing your own custom draw control, or you could just relable to match the data

|        |       |#######|       |
|        |       |#######|       |
|        |       |#######|       |
|        |       |#######|       |
|########|       |#######|       |
|########|       |#######|       |
|########|       |#######|#######|
|########|       |#######|#######|
|########|       |#######|#######|
|########|#######|#######|#######|
|########|#######|#######|#######|
|   0-1  |  1-2  |  2-3  |  3-4  |

Thanks for the quick reply...
Thanks for the representation drawn above.

However my requirement was to display the x-axis labels just below the tick marks. An I would like to know the possibility to achieve the requirement. If yes, then would like to know the way.

If I understand you correctly, it is not possible to achieve it with the WPF toolkit chart control. I may need to create my own control for this requirement instead.

Did I understand correctly?

I'm not saying it can't be done. Just that I've never tried nor did any amount of searching I did find a way. Someone more experienced with WPF might know a way.

I just wanted to present to you a way that your users might interpret the data is the labels under the ticks, and maybe find a way that solved the underlying need without all the time invested.

If your job spec is that you HAVE to do it, then you have to do it.
