xaxis on column chart overlaps when value exceeds certain number

[Naureen]

I have a simple chart with a line and a bar series. X-axis on the chart represents number of days - Depending on user selection the days can vary from 20 days to 90 days. As soon as number of days starts growing, for instance more than 25 days, the label starts crowding and overlapping each-other. My x-axis is a category axis. How can i adjust increments on x-axis so that it automatically sets certain interval on x-axis to avoid overlapping. Please have a look at attached chart for better explanation of the problem.

Hello Naureen,

One option is to control the Axis label with CategoryGroup.Label property which accepts expressions.

Another option is to switch to Numerical or DateTime scale (How to: Change the Axis Scale) where you will be able to control the labels with LabelStep (LabelUnit) properties (Axis Validation).

Thanks for the reply - Second option worked for me but can i set auto increment to 1 if the axis has values <= 20?

Hi Naureen,

You can add a binding for LabelStep and LabelUnit properties into Bindings collection of the coordinate system.

A sample approach how to change the properties of the Graph item with bindigns is provided in How to: Use Bindings to Control the Coordinate System Properties help article.
