[Solved] CategoryAxis Units

[Joe]

Is there a way to skip category axis values in a chart similar to the way the Major/Minor Units are set for the Value axis?  I have a chart that is displaying a Line chart for web activity for the last 30 days.  I have the data working with the chart just fine but the category axis seems a little crunched together as I'm showing the dates for each day.  I would like to be able to only show the labels for say every other day but still have the line chart value for all 30 days.

Is this possible?

Hi Joe,

Thank you for contacting us.

Currently this functionality is not supported, but I will add it as a feature request in our internal system. If we receive more requests for the same functionality, we will schedule it for investigation.

Kind regards,

Hi Hristo ,
  We are also facing same problem. Could you please suggest work around for the same?
  We are plotting some dates on x axis and certain values as series.
  We are also showing tooltip which displays date + value.
  Since dates are too many, x axis seems crowded.
  We don't want to represent all the dates on x axis but in tool tip.

Awaiting for your reference.

Thanks & Regards,
Devrao Dhanawade.

Hello Devrao,

With the official release of Telerik Components for ASP.NET MVC we implemented step for the labels axis of the chart. You can try this:

.CategoryAxis(axis => axis
    .Categories(s => s.DateString).Labels(labels => labels.Step(2))
)

Thank you for the speedy resolution of this request.  I look forward to getting this feature working in our application soon.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Hristo,
I also display 30 days in my axis and one solution I found was the following:

.CategoryAxis(axis =>
    {
        axis.Categories(s => s.UpgradeDate);
        axis.Labels(l => l.Rotation(50));
    })

That works great for Columns, however when I change it to Bars the dates move to the vertical line (which is the normal behaviour) and they are all crunched. I still have plenty of room in the screen, not sure why the space between the dates are not streched or why the height of the chart is not extended giving more space among the data grid lines.

If you could shed some light here I'd appreciate it.

Thank you

Isn't a way to activate the scroll bar on the x-axis like in the asp.net ajax chart?
