PlotArea.XAxis.Step does not appear to work; crazy x-axis ticks

[Matthew]

With this code:

 

chart.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale =

false;

 

chart.PlotArea.XAxis.MinValue = 0.0;

chart.PlotArea.XAxis.MaxValue =2.53;

chart.PlotArea.XAxis.Step = 1000;

// (maximum.Value - minimum.Value) / 10.0;

Whatever the step - 1, 10, 1000, 10th of difference, the x-axis draws so many labels and ticks that the x-axis becomes a complete mush. Why?

The only reason I am turning off autoscaling on this line chart is that autoscaling puts the first point on the axis some way in from the left, and the last point some way in from the right. So an alternative solution would be if you could tell me how to make autoscale put the first and last points on the extreme left and right

cheers

Hi Matthew,

You can achieve this by setting the LayoutMode property to 'Normal'. This way you will not need to alter AutoScale, MinValue, MaxValue and Step properties.

RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.LayoutMode = ChartAxisLayoutMode.Normal;

Hope this helps.
