Multiple Y Axis and Scrollbars/Zooming

[Ulrich]

Hello Telerik Team,

I am currently implementing a WPF RadChart and I am very impressed, but I have one slight problem.

I am using multiple Y-Axis, up to five, and I need the zooming an scrolling feature, as I have to visualize long term data.
I am currently facing two problems:

1) Even when completely zoomed out, I have Scrollbars drawn at each axis, minimzing the screen region for the graph.

2) Every Y-Axis draws a scrollbar. As they all are synchronized anyway, I would like to hide the scrollbards of the additional Y Axis, as this also reduces the graph screen region.

Currently, I am loosing a huge amount of screen real estate to the scrollbars. Is there any way to control the visibility of the bars at each axis? I couldn't find something in the documentation about this.

best regards

Ulrik

Hi Ulrich,

 Thank you for contacting us.
You made a very good point there and we are considering removing the additional scrollbars all together.
Currently though I can offer you a workaround to get around this :

this.LayoutUpdated += new EventHandler(MainPage_LayoutUpdated);

bool onlyTheFirstTime = false;

void MainPage_LayoutUpdated(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    if (onlyTheFirstTime)

        return;

 

    onlyTheFirstTime = true;

 

    var axisContainer = this.ChildrenOfType<Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.AdditionalAxes2DContainer>()

        .Where(container => container.Name == "PART_AdditionalVerticalAxesPanel")

        .First();

 

    foreach (var item in axisContainer.ChildrenOfType<RadSlider>())

        item.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;

}

The snippet walks the visual tree , finds the panel where the addition  vertical axes are and collapses them. There we have a flag to make sure it is not done on each layout.

Let me know how this worked for you.

Works like a charm, many thanks!

While talking about the Y-Axis, there is one feature request I got from testers:

In Charts with many Y-Axis, it would of great help to link the interaction features of the series with the Y-Axis it is mapped against, basically dimming/hiding the other Y-Axis. It would make it easier for users to find the Axis the series belongs to.

best regards
