Adjusting the width of BarSeries

[Jonathan]

I have been creating a Dashboard so show traffic at each minute.

On our largest time scale (4 hours) the BarSeries will overlap each other (There being a max of 240 points).

I haven't found anything in the Xamarin.Forms or Xamarin.Android documentation indicating this can be changed.

 

I am guessing that I am going to have to make a custom Chart Renderer, but I haven't explored that route yet as I am still learning the lay of the land to mobile developing.

 

Will a  custom Chart Renderer work? Is it my only option? Or is there already support for this feature?

Hi Jonathan,

DateTimeContinuousAxis exposes APIs (MajorStep and MajorStepUnit properties), which should allow you to achieve the desired result, but I am afraid due to a bug, they will not be functional at the moment. The workaround would be to implement a custom renderer. In this case, it would be a simple one:

public class MyChartRenderer : CartesianChartRenderer
{
    protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Telerik.XamarinForms.Chart.RadCartesianChart> e)
    {
        base.OnElementChanged(e);
        DateTimeContinuousAxis axis = this.Control.HorizontalAxis as DateTimeContinuousAxis;
        axis.MajorStep = 1;
        axis.MajorStepUnit = TimeInterval.Minute;

    }
}

You will also need to register it, using the ExportRenderer attribute:

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(Telerik.XamarinForms.Chart.RadCartesianChart), typeof(MyChartRenderer))]
