[Solved] A few "how do I do this" questions about the chart control

[Igor]

1.  I would like for a chart to self-adjust itself to display data only within the last 1hr.  I've configured the setInterval() function in javascript to run and update the 'data' dictionary of every series.  However, I am struggling with setting the Min and Max values for the CategoryAxis, which is I believe is what I need to do in order to display a fixed window of data

2.  I would like to display the legend but I would also like to provide the size to the legend area.  Currently, my PlotArea is competing with the Legend area. I need to show 10-12 charts on one screen and want them all to be of one size. Is this possible?

3.  Is there any documentation on the Format() property for the labels on the CategoryAxis?  I would like to display my labels in a format of: "hh:mm" where hh and mm are hours and minutes.  Is this even possible?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Igor,

Straight to your question: 

1. The Category Axis is used to set category names and there are not values as Min and Max; 
2. You can not set a width to the Legend Area, but as a possible workaround I would suggest to configure its margin. This way you could specify the place the LegendArea takes. For example: 

   @(Html.Telerik().Chart(Model)
      .Name("chart")
      .Legend(legend => legend
         .Margin(0, 65, 0, 15))
       ...
   )

3. I am afraid that documentation about this topic is not available. The good news is that in Q2 2012 official release there will be a date axis, which will allow you to display the labels in the desired format.  

I hope this helps.
