Decimal point in yaxis

[Imran]

Hi, I'm using RadControls for Telerik in dot net. On Yaxis it only shows upto one decimal place. What would be the name space to modify it upto say 3 decimal places (pad zeroes)?

Chart.PlotArea? Or Data Table?

Thanks!

Hello Imran,

You need to customize the CustomFormat property like this:

<PlotArea>
    <YAxis Appearance-CustomFormat="0.000"></YAxis>
    ...
</PlotArea>

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot!

I'm doing it via code, here it is:

chart.PlotArea.YAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "0.00";

It's works except it's clipping the number on yAxis, I increased chart.Width but a of width has to be increased to make these numbers not clip. I guess Chart "center" point is not left.

Hello Imran,

You need to adjust manually the left margin value of the plot area so the elements do not overlap with one another like this:

<rad:RadChart ID="RadChart1" runat="Server">
    <Series>
        <rad:ChartSeries Name="Series 1" Type="Bar" YAxisType="Primary">
            <Appearance>
                <EmptyValue Mode="Approximation">
                </EmptyValue>
            </Appearance>
            <Items>
                <rad:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 1" YValue="0.1">
                </rad:ChartSeriesItem>
                <rad:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 2" YValue="0.8">
                </rad:ChartSeriesItem>
                <rad:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 3" YValue="0.4">
                </rad:ChartSeriesItem>
            </Items>
        </rad:ChartSeries>
    </Series>
    <PlotArea>
        <Appearance Dimensions-Margins="18%, 24%, 12%, 50px">
        </Appearance>
        <YAxis Appearance-CustomFormat="0.000">
        </YAxis>
    </PlotArea>
</rad:RadChart>

We are working on AutoLayout functionality that will be introduced in the Q1 2008 release (scheduled in about a week) that will achieve the desired effect automatically through a single property(AutoLayout=true).
