How do I rotate a 3d Cylinder Column Chart 90 degrees clockwise?

You can take a look at:

 Thank you.  I was able to work things around and get the layout I want.  But, now the chart comes up really small.  I need to stretch the columns to the right (my chart is now sideways from left to right), but I don't want to make the control any taller.  I also needed to set the scale to 50 so the chart won't cover up my top and bottom titles.  How do I stretch the columns to the right without making the control any taller?

this.ultraChart1.ChartType = Infragistics.UltraChart.Shared.Styles.ChartType.CylinderBarChart3D;

so in this case you probably won't need to rotate the chart.

this.ultraChart1.Transform3D.Scale = 50;

 Thank you.  This was certainly easier... but I have another question, and hopefully my last for  a while. :-D  My Y axis labels are not showing (Y axis after changing the chart type).  How do I force these to show?  Or, since my z and y axis labels are the same, make my z axis labels switch to the other side.  I am enclosing a pic of my graph.  I basically want the labels on the right to be on the left. 

I tried:

this.ultraChart1.DataSource = DemoTable.AllPositive();

this.ultraChart1.DataBind();

and it seems to work as you expect. You can try reseting the settings that you changed before.

 Then perhaps it's my data.  I build my datatable on the fly.  Two columns, first is System.String, second is System.Decimal.  Then I add 5 rows...

        System.Data.DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        System.Data.DataColumn col = new DataColumn("one",typeof(System.String));
        System.Data.DataColumn col2 = new DataColumn("two",typeof(System.Decimal));

        dt.Columns.Add(col);
        dt.Columns.Add(col2);

        System.Data.DataRow row1 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row2 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row3 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row4 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row5 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row6 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row7 = dt.NewRow();
        System.Data.DataRow row8 = dt.NewRow();

        row1[0] = "First";
        row2[0] = "Second";
        row3[0] = "Third";
        row4[0] = "Fourth";
        row5[0] = "Fifth";
        row6[0] = "Sixth";
        row7[0] = "Seventh";
        row8[0] = "Eighth";

        row1[1] = 20;
        row2[1] = 50;
        row3[1] = 30;
        row4[1] = 80;
        row5[1] = 54;
        row6[1] = 63;
        row7[1] = 77;
        row8[1] = 16;

        dt.Rows.Add(row1);
        dt.Rows.Add(row2);
        dt.Rows.Add(row3);
        dt.Rows.Add(row4);
        dt.Rows.Add(row5);
        dt.Rows.Add(row6);
        dt.Rows.Add(row7);
        dt.Rows.Add(row8);

        colChart.Data.DataSource = dt;
        colChart.Data.DataBind();
        colChart.Data.IncludeColumn(0,false);

        colChart.ChartType = Infragistics.UltraChart.Shared.Styles.ChartType.CylinderBarChart3D;

The data coming in is not is a table form and I have to create the datatable in this manner.  Is there something else that I can do differently?

Try adding:

colChart.Data.SwapRowsAndColumns = true;

 That did it.  Thank you very much, now I need to work out how to make each cylinder different colors... but I'll not ask the question right now!!  Thanks for being patient with this newbie.

OK.  I give up.  I don't have enough time to explore all the options.  Now, since I swapped columns and rows, since I only have one set of cylinders, they are all the same color (green).  How do I set the color of each cylinder individually, or is there a setting I can use to make this happen?  I've also been told that I need to control the spacing between the cylinders.  I will need to add 5 more cylinders to my chart, and then group them by twos.  This will be used to show comparisons.  An example would be that I have two cylinders, a "wide" gap, and then two more cylinders, then another gap...  I would end up with five groups of two cylinders.  Is this possible?

About your first questions - you can try:

ultraChart1.ColorModel.Skin.ApplyRowWise = false;

ultraChart1.ColorModel.Skin.PEs.Add(new PaintElement(Color.Green));

ultraChart1.ColorModel.Skin.PEs.Add(new PaintElement(Color.Red));

ultraChart1.ColorModel.Skin.PEs.Add(new PaintElement(Color.GreenYellow));

ultraChart1.ColorModel.Skin.PEs.Add(new PaintElement(Color.LightSteelBlue));

About your second question you probably need to look at our chart sampes (http://samples.infragistics.com/) to decide which chart type you want.
