I am trying to fix the number of ticks displayed in Linear Y-Axis to be only 5 ticks while I am maintaining the minimum and maximum values for each new plotted data point manually. The problem is even after setting DesiredTickCount property, Linear Y-Axis values still varying and it is not fixed to only 5 ticks. Am I using the right property? if not, then, how to achieve this?
Best Regards.

Hi Adnan,
The DesiredTickCount property does what is says - it allows you to define a desired number of ticks for the axis. But keep in mind that this doesn't guarantee that number will be satisfied. The automatic range calculation takes into account different factors and it tries to display a reasonable step between the ticks (examples: 0.5, 0.2, 1, 300, 1500, 250, etc.). So, if you set the DesiredTickCount to 7, you could get also 6 or 8 labels, depending on the range of the axis.
If you want a concrete number of ticks you can calculate set the MajorStep property of the axis manually, based on the axis range. You can use the ActualRange property of the axis to get is range.
