How to get mouse coordinate relative to a specific axis?

[Unisense]

Hi Telerik,

I have a problem getting the correct mouse coordinates(lineSeries is a RadCartesianChart). I know how to get the coordinates:

var mousePosition = e.GetPosition(lineSeries);
DataTuple tuple = lineSeries.ConvertPointToData(mousePosition);

double x = (double)tuple.FirstValue;
double y = (double)tuple.SecondValue;

But i have 3 axes on my graph and when i extract the mouse coordinates i get the coordinates for the wrong axes. They are defined like this:

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
<telerik:LinearAxis VerticalLocation="Bottom" Title="Concentration(µmol/L)" x:Name="HorizontalAxis"/>
</telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
<telerik:LinearAxis IsInverse="True" Title="Depth(µm)" x:Name="VerticalAxis"/>
</telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>

Haxis = new LinearAxis();
Haxis.Title = "Rate (nmol cm-3 s-1)";
Haxis.VerticalLocation = AxisVerticalLocation.Top;
Haxis.IsInverse = true;

I get the mouse coordinates for the horizontal axis defined in XAML but i want mouse coordinates for the horizontal axis defined in the C# code.

So how would i extract mouse coordinates for the correct axes when i have more than two?

Best regards,

Hi Jeppe,

First, you need to use the chart and not the series to get the proper mouse position. Then, you can use the ConvertPointToData overload, which accepts the two axes you need to get the values for, otherwise the chart's axes are used:

var mousePosition = e.GetPosition(chart1);
DataTuple tuple = lineSeries.ConvertPointToData(mousePosition, hAxis, vAxis);
