Get chart coordinates from screen coordinates

[Baris]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to get the chart coordinates given a screen coordinate. I'm implementing changing chart values by dragging points, and in the MouseMove or MouseUp event, I want to get the YValue corresponding to the Location (screen coordinates) provided in the MouseEventArgs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Baris

Hello Baris,

Unfortunately, the RadChart does not provide such an API.

Hello Joshua,

Thanks for your response. I'd have to say that's a pretty big limitation, it sounds like pretty basic functionality for a chart.

Is there a way around this missing functionality such as calculating the location using the chart component size, size of the empty space/margin around the rectangular line chart area and the X/Y min/max values? Can you get the margin sizes in a line chart?

Thanks,
Baris

Hi Baris,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to accomplish this task, since the whole functionality of the chart is about calculating and distributing the available space.
