Answer
It will depend on the type of data and the type of graph. Take a look at the following website from the Purdue Online Writing Lab. It discusses different types of graphs and shows examples which might give you some ideas on how to label your graph. There is also a checklist and a section about captions and legends.

If you have a copy of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.), you may find some helpful information in Chapter 5, Displaying Results.
