DateTimeCategoricalAxis issue

[Martin]

Hi,

We need to create a chart with multiple series. I created a RadCartesian chart which has a DateTimeCategoricalAxis as horizontal axis and a LinearAxis as vertical axis. For the series I use scatterpoint series.

<telerik:RadCartesianChart>
            <telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
                <telerik:DateTimeCategoricalAxis Title="Inspection Date" />
            </telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
            <telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
                <telerik:LinearAxis LineThickness="1"
                                    Title="Value">
                </telerik:LinearAxis>
            </telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
            <telerik:RadCartesianChart.Series>
                <telerik:ScatterPointSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Path=InspectionHistory}"
                                            PointTemplate="{StaticResource PointTemplate1}"
                                            XValueBinding="InspectionDate"
                                            YValueBinding="Value" />
                <telerik:ScatterPointSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Path=InspectionHistory}"
                                            PointTemplate="{StaticResource PointTemplate2}"
                                            XValueBinding="InspectionDate"
                                            YValueBinding="MinimalValue">
                </telerik:ScatterPointSeries>
            </telerik:RadCartesianChart.Series>

            <telerik:RadCartesianChart.Grid>
                <telerik:CartesianChartGrid MajorLinesVisibility="XY" />
            </telerik:RadCartesianChart.Grid>
        </telerik:RadCartesianChart>

Currently the chart does not show the scatter points. If I change the horizontal axis into a linearaxis and bind the X value to another property, the chart is drawn. Why doesnt it work with the DateTimeCategoricalAxis ?

I am using the 2013 Q1 control.

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Martin,

Please mind that the ScatterPoint series are intended to be used with Linear, Logarithmic Axes only as described in our documentation. However with our upcomming Q2 2013 release (at the end of this month), you'll be able to achieve that with the new Point series. So stay tuned.

Hi Evgenia,

I installed the Q2 2013 release of the components. According to the documentation there is still no possibility to have a horizontal datetime axis in a scatter point serie. Is the documentation not updated or is this feature not release in Q2 2013?

Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Martin,

 As I previously mentioned not ScatterPoint but Point series now supports date time horizontal axis. You can check our online demo with source code provided where this is demonstrated.
