Axis Style

This web site builds the control from code behind but you could also grab it from the toolbox, this sample also uses a ViewModel to populate the properties of the control(s) in this sample.

View model

using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView;

    public DrawMarginFrame Frame { get; set; } =
    new()
    {
        Fill = new SolidColorPaint
        {
            Color = new SKColor(0, 0, 0, 30)
        },
        Stroke = new SolidColorPaint
        {
            Color = new SKColor(80, 80, 80),
            StrokeThickness = 2
        }
    };

Form code behind

using System.Windows.Forms;
using LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.WinForms;
using ViewModelsSamples.Axes.Style;

namespace WinFormsSample.Axes.Style;

public partial class View : UserControl
{
    private readonly CartesianChart cartesianChart;

    public View()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 100);

        var viewModel = new ViewModel();

        cartesianChart = new CartesianChart
        {
            Series = viewModel.Series,
            XAxes = viewModel.XAxes,
            YAxes = viewModel.YAxes,
            DrawMarginFrame = viewModel.Frame,

            // out of livecharts properties...
            Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0),
            Size = new System.Drawing.Size(100, 100),
            Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom
        };

        Controls.Add(cartesianChart);
    }
}
