[Solved] how to show specific values on x-axis?

[Shashank]

HI Telerik,

I am showing time series on x axis ranging from 1/1/1970 to 12/12/2012 but instead of showing the entire time series I want to show  just 4 values like start, end and two in the middle.

Please help me out with this.

Thanks,
-Shashank

Hello Shashank,

Thank you for your interest.

You can achieve the desired effect by setting the DateTimeContinuousAxis.MaximumTicks property to 4.

I hope this information is useful.

Thanx but i am not able to get where to out it, my graph is as below

previously i was using 

 <telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
                                <telerik:CategoricalAxis LabelStyle="{StaticResource GraphLabelStyle}" LineStyle="{StaticResource GraphLineStyle}"
                                                                            MajorTickStyle="{StaticResource GraphTickStyle}">
                                    <telerik:CategoricalAxis.LabelTemplate>
                                        <DataTemplate>
                                            <TextBlock />
                                        </DataTemplate>
                                    </telerik:CategoricalAxis.LabelTemplate>
                                </telerik:CategoricalAxis>
                            </telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
                                <telerik:DateTimeContinuousAxis LabelStyle="{StaticResource GraphLabelStyle}" LineStyle="{StaticResource GraphLineStyle}"
                                                                            MajorTickStyle="{StaticResource GraphTickStyle}"

                                    <telerik:DateTimeContinuousAxis.LabelTemplate>
                                        <DataTemplate>
                                            <TextBlock />
                                        </DataTemplate>
                                    </telerik:DateTimeContinuousAxis.LabelTemplate>

Hello Shashank,

I see that in the first code sample you use CategoricalAxis and in the second one – DateTimeContinuousAxis. Please, could you check if your data is of DateTime type, and if not, you could use different axis type.

Here is an article in our online documentation where you can read about all axis types and their properties.

I hope this helps.

Hi Shashank,

In your case you could use the MajorTickInterval property of the CategoricalAxis and set it to a value depending on your data collection length. I have attached a project demonstrating how to achieve this.

Let me know if this works for you.

thanks for the response, its working but i am facing a challenge.

I am having 12 values on x axis (for example 1 - 12), and if i choose an interval as 2, 3, 4 and so on i am missing the last value i.e 12 and hence its not getting displayed on x axis 

case MajorTickInterval = 2
        1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 (12 is not being shown)

case MajorTickInterval = 3
       1, 4, 7, 10 (12 is not being shown)

case MajorTickInterval = 4
       1, 5, 9 (12 is not being shown)

case MajorTickInterval = 5
      1, 6, 11  (12 is not being shown)

case MajorTickInterval = 6
      1, 7  (12 is not being shown)

Can there be any way so that i can show compulsary the 1st and the last range i.e. 1 & 12, and some values in between might be like 5  and 9 on X axis. Please suggest its urgent

Hi Shashank,

Currently there is no other way to alter the tick and label step for a Categorical axis. Nevertheless you may add this functionality as a feature request and if there is enough interest for it we will consider implementing it.

I hope this information is useful.
