Hi All,

I am using the RadChart for WPF in my project for displaying the Chart as LineSeries, my requirment is like this:
 1) I need to add dataPoints dynamically by reading the output file for each Dataseries
  2) I need to add AdditionalYAxes for each Dataseries
  3) I need to Apply ForeGround color for each DataSeries
   4)And the same DataSeires color i need to apply color for related AdditionalYAxes
 
I have done upto the Above Three Steps and i am able to add AdditionalYAxes. But i am not able to Apply the color Style for the AdditionYAxes line and also the AdditionalYAxes is not start from X-axes, for now it is starting from X-axes one Step above.

I need to apply the color for AdditionaYAxes for the relating DataSeries and The Line should Start from X-Axes position.

i have attached my codeSnippet below:
.XAML file

.Xaml.cs file

 

 

private void GenerateSeries(string target, ref DateTime timeStamp, double avgVal, string counterName)

 

{

 

 

int _minsOffSet=0;

 

 

 

DateTime minDate = DateTime.MaxValue;

 

 

 

DateTime maxDate = DateTime.MinValue;

 

 

 

double minVal = double.MaxValue;

new LineSeriesDefinition() { ShowItemLabels = false, ShowItemToolTips = true };

 

counterSeries.Definition.ItemToolTipFormat =

counterSeries.Definition.AxisName = counterName;

 

 

AxisY yAxis = new AxisY();

 

yAxis.AxisName = counterName;

 

 

string legendName = string.Format("{0}", counterName);

 

SetLegendDetails(legendName,

 

ref counterSeries, ref yAxis);

 

 

 

DateTime time = timeStamp.AddMinutes(_minsOffSet);

 

 

minVal =

 

Math.Min(minVal, avgVal);

 

maxVal =

 

Math.Max(maxVal, avgVal);

 

 

 

DataPoint dp = new DataPoint(time.ToOADate(), avgVal);

 

dp.IsDateTime =

 

true;

 

counterSeries.Add(dp);

 

 

if (time > maxDate)

 

maxDate = time;

 

 

if (time < minDate)

 

minDate = time;

 

 

if (avgVal > maxVal)

 

maxVal = avgVal;

 

 

if (avgVal > minVal)

 

minVal = avgVal;

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.MinValue = minDate.ToOADate();

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.MaxValue = maxDate.ToOADate();

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.MinValue = minVal;

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.MaxValue = maxVal;

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries.Add(counterSeries);

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AdditionalYAxes.Add(yAxis);

 

 

double graphVariation = maxVal - minVal;

 

 

 

if ((graphVariation > 2) & (graphVariation <= 9))

 

{

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.DefaultLabelFormat =

 

"n1";

 

}

 

 

else if (graphVariation <= 2)

 

{

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.DefaultLabelFormat =

 

"n3";

 

}

 

 

else

 

{

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.DefaultLabelFormat =

 

"n0";

 

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.DefaultLabelFormat =

 

"0";

 

}

}

 

 

private void SetLegendDetails(string legendName, ref DataSeries dataSeries, ref AxisY yAxis)

 

{

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Header =

 

"";

 

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartLegend.UseAutoGeneratedItems =

 

true;

 

dataSeries.LegendLabel = legendName;

dataSeries.Definition.Appearance.Foreground =

 

new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

 

 

 

Style customAxisYStyle = this.Resources["CustomAxisYStyle"] as Style;

 

_myChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.AxisStyles.AxisLineStyle = customAxisYStyle;

 

}

I have attaching the Chart ScreenShot what i implemented.
Please see in Attachments

Hi Satish,

As I understand from your post you need to set different stroke color for every additional y axis. I noticed something wrong in your code - please use the following style for your axes:

<Style x:Key="CustomAxis" TargetType="Line">
      <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Green" />
      <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="5" />
</Style>

The difference is that you need to use x:Key instead of x:Name. Having separate style for every y axis should fix your problem.

Regarding your second question (about the start point of the additional y axes), I have tried to reproduce it with the provided code, but unfortunately with no success. A possible hint is that may be it is caused by the data you set.

Could you please provide us with more information? A sample project would be the best option.

Thank you,
