x-axis labels in coreplot not displayed - ios

Question

I have attached the entire code which I am using but the x-axis label is not being generated .I have no clue where it is going wrong .I am a noob in core plot .PLease Help me out .Thanks in Advance and Happy New Year.

Main Code for plotting x-axis labels :
This is the code for x-axis labels:
CPTXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPTXYAxisSet *)self.graph.axisSet;
//X labels
int labelLocations = 0;
NSMutableArray *customXLabels = [NSMutableArray array];
NSArray *dates = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"2012-05-01", #"2012-05-02", #"2012-05-03",
#"2012-05-04", #"2012-05-05", #"2012-05-06", #"2012-05-07", nil];
for (NSString *day in dates) {
CPTAxisLabel *newLabel = [[CPTAxisLabel alloc] initWithText:day textStyle:axisSet.xAxis.labelTextStyle];
newLabel.tickLocation = [[NSNumber numberWithInt:labelLocations] decimalValue];
newLabel.offset = axisSet.xAxis.labelOffset + axisSet.xAxis.majorTickLength;
// newLabel.rotation = M_PI / 4;
[customXLabels addObject:newLabel];
labelLocations++;
}
axisSet.xAxis.axisLabels = [NSSet setWithArray:customXLabels];

Answer 1

Have you tried this? You have to handle the padding correctly.
graph.plotAreaFrame.paddingBottom=40;
