[Solved] Chart X-Axis Displayed values

[fayssal el moufatich]

I am trying to plot a time series. If I pass the list of corresponding dates for the values. Chart will display all the dates, which is rather a mess. Is there an Excel-like behavior where the chart samples only a few dates on the x-axis for display.

Thanks!

Hello Fayssal,

We will add an option to render every n-th label in order to address the more basic scenarios. We also plan to implement a true Date axis for future versions.

It should fine. I have already come up with a workaround for it for now :).

Hello,

The Q1 '12 version of the MVC extensions adds support for a label step property. It allows you to render only every n-th label.
.CategoryAxis(axis => axis
    .Categories(s => s.DateString)
    .Labels(l => l.Step(2))
)

Another alternative to a true DateTime axis would be to use a scatter chart to emulate it by representing the time as milliseconds. See the attached project for an example. Regards,

you used this code to format the labels: 

.Labels(l => l.Template("${ formatDate(value) }"))

is it possible to do something similar for the series tooltip?

Hi,

Yes, the syntax is almost the same. As this is an XY-chart you need to specify which dimension of the value you need.

.Tooltip(t => t.Visible(true).Template("${ formatDate(value.x) }"))

I hope this helps.
