**Parameters:**
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| value | int | Text alignment of the axis tick labels. The value must be one of [ParagraphAlignment](../../com.aspose.words/paragraphalignment/) constants. |

### setOffset(int value) {#setOffset-int}
```
public void setOffset(int value)
```


Sets the distance of the tick labels from the axis.

 **Remarks:** 

The property represents a percentage of the default label offset.

Valid range is from 0 to 1000 percent inclusive. The default value is 100%.

The property has effect only for category axes. It is not supported by MS Office 2016 new charts.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to insert a chart and modify the appearance of its axes.

```

Note that some [ShapeTextOrientation](../../com.aspose.words/shapetextorientation/) values do not affect the orientation of tick label text in value axes.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to change orientation and rotation for axis tick labels.

```
